ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Wild didn't have Ryan Reaves in action when the puck dropped against the Jets hours after trading for the veteran forward, but they played like they did.
After adding Reaves to shore up their size and swagger, the Wild dished out their most assertive performance of the season in a 6-1 blitz of Winnipeg on Wednesday in front of 17,450 at Xcel Energy Center to improve to 2-1 on this seven-game homestand.
Matt Boldy chipped in a goal and two assists, Marcus Foligno scored twice to end an 11-game rut, and Kirill Kaprizov extended his point streak to seven games with a pair of points that included his first tally in six.
