Saturday night, however, things are different after a 5-2 victory over Dallas.
Scored three goals in 59-second is definitely enhance the mood of the hockey team. Rather than head hanging, there were laughing, screaming and even a shaving cream pie in the face of Chad Rau, wild rookie who scored the winner in his NHL debut.
“It was really great,” said Minnesota’s Matt Cullen. “You look at where both teams are in the standings and we have two great games that are going into the all-star break, so it’s really great for us to change the type of thing.”
Wild (23-6-7), 3-11-4 over the next 18 games, following a 2-1 when Cal Clutterbuck took a loose puck in the Dallas zone and flipped it over Curry’s extensive Lehtonen to tie it. Fourteen seconds later, Rau took the shot from the left side of the crease that went off the stick of Dallas ‘ Brenden Morrow and into the net.
