The Minnesota #wild hammered the Boston #bruins 6-2 in the first game with newly acquired Quinn Hughes in the lineup. The superstar defenseman scored his 1st goal with his new team early in the 3rd period to put the Wild up 4-0 and basically end any hope Boston had of coming back. The Wild's D-corp ranked 2nd to last in offensive production before the trade and promptly put up 5 pts (2 goals, 3 assists) with Hughes on the squad. They were also basically 3 for 3 on the powerplay through the majority of the game, with the 3rd goal coming on a delayed penalty with the goalie pulled and the extra attacker (Kaprisov) getting the goal.
If there are any Avalanche or Stars fans here, you are on notice. The Wild are coming.... #nhl
As a Boston fan - good work Wild. We had no chance.
Yeah, that building was pretty electric yesterday. You guys were ending a road trip and the Wild (and the crowd) were pretty energized by their new shiny toy. lol After we weathered the first period where you outplayed us, and we were still up 1-0, I knew you were in trouble. We'll see what happens when we come to your place in March...
Yeah, we will see ;-).
