This isn't how the Minnesota Wild wanted to start their quest to stave off elimination Friday night.
The Winnipeg Jets erupted for four goals on 10 shots in the first period of Game 5, as Joel Armia ended Devan Dubnyk's night with a goal that made it 4-0 at about the 12-minute mark of the opening frame.
Jacob Trouba opened the scoring 31 seconds in, after which Bryan Little, Brandon Tanev, and Armia followed suit, sending Alex Stalock into the Wild crease with only 11:59 elapsed in the game.
The Jets entered Friday's game leading the best-of-seven series 3-1.
