ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Wild reignited its offense and rebounded from an uncharacteristic off night in its return from the All-Star break.
In the process, the team proved its seat in the standings among the best in the NHL isn't a fluke.
That's the confirmation that comes with taking down a Stanley Cup contender, which the Wild accomplished by holding off the Hurricanes, 3-2, on Saturday in front of 18,802 at Xcel Energy Center to seal its seventh victory over the last eight games.
