Wild Control the Ice, Take a 3-1 Lead
Minnesota’s power play and chance advantage pushed them ahead before a third-period insurance goal
By MA Insights
The Wild owned the flow and it showed on the scoreboard.
Minnesota outshot Boston 25-16 and out-attempted them 45-31, generated more high-danger chances, and held the better expected-goals total. That control produced two power-play goals (Minnesota 2 for 3) and a third-period even-strength goal to make it 3-1.
