Wow, that was just an incredible finish. The Wild trailed 3-0 and looked like it got punched in the gut when Nashville stretched the lead to 4-2 early in the third period.
"That was arguably one of the worst starts we had this year," Jason Zucker said.
But the Wild came back for an electrifying 6-4 win. It'll be interesting to see what this does for the Wild's psyche moving forward. Four straight wins now, and this one, over the defending Western Conference champs, was huge.
Bruce Boudreau said the team basically played with no emotion for half the game.
"I mean, you can't be satisfied with playing 30 minutes a game because it's going to come up and bite you as the season goes along," he said. "But I mean, they can't all be Picassos either.
"I mean, it shows great character to be able to come back and all of a sudden do that. It makes people believe, or the team I think believe that they're capable of doing it.
"I mean if we would have gone through the motions and ended up with an empty netter and the game ended up 5-2 [in a loss], that's the way you'd think the next game. And now the next game, if this is the situation, we may not win, but they're going to have the belief that they're capable of doing it if they do certain things."
NOTE: There was a scoring change after the game. The Wild's third goal, originally credited to Jared Spurgeon, actually deflected off Ryan Suter. So it now reads Suter, with assists from Spurgeon and Erik Staal.
