ST. PAUL, Minn.-- Two third-period goals gave the Minnesota Wild a 3-1 win against the Winnipeg Jets at Xcel Energy Center on Wednesday.
Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin made it 2-0 13 seconds into a Minnesota power play at 11:13 of the third period. Jets forward Blake Wheeler made it 2-1 at 12:06 with a power-play goal, and Zach Parise scored into an empty net at 19:29.
"We did a really good job defensively, and offensively we had some chances, some rushes, some pipes," Parise said. "We were able to get a 3-1 win. We were able to get enough. It's kind of been the same story. Devan [Dubnyk] played really well. ... When he saw the puck he stopped it."
