Haula's deft tip-in part of 2-minute 3rd-period blitz as Wild stun Ducks
NHL.com
The Minnesota Wild, man.
Down 3-2 to the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday with under six-and-a-half minutes to play in the third period, the offensive juggernaut - Minnesota's 150 goals lead the Western Conference - decided they were going to win the game. Sorry, Anaheim.
Erik Haula tied the game with a beautiful redirection at the 13:39 mark. Ryan Suter made it 4-3 at 14:15. And Jason Zucker put the Wild to bed at 15:38. Two minutes, three goals, goodnight Ducks.
"We stayed resilient," Zucker said postgame.
That resilience has the Wild on a 19-2-1 run over their last 22 games, and they're 7-1-1 in the new year. That'll do.
