It's a remarkable turnaround for the Wild against the Jets. Winnipeg went 3-1 in four regular season matchups last season, then disposed of Minnesota in five games in the First Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
It also continues a see-saw trend between the clubs over the years.
The Jets won four of five meetings in the 2015-16 season, while the Wild turned the tables the following year, winning four of five.
After Winnipeg had its run last season, Minnesota was able to have its perfect run in 2018-19. Now the Wild will try and reverse that trend when the rivals re-connect next season.
2. Welcome back, Zach Parise.
The Wild's leading scorer missed the past four games with a lower-body injury, but looked perfectly fine on Tuesday, scoring a pair of goals early in the contest to get the Minnesota offense cooking.
Offense has been a problem for the Wild over the past couple weeks, as Minnesota scored just 15 goals over its past 10 games ... with five of those goals coming in one game alone.
The lack of goal scoring has spoiled a stretch where Minnesota, structurally, has actually played pretty well.
On Tuesday, it was rewarded, and also got a bit of puck luck.
