400 points, 900 games and a return home that Wild forward Freddy Gaudreau called “a memory that will last a lifetime.” Minnesota’s trip through Canada started with a 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday and saw Wild Captain Jared Spurgeon record his 400th career point with a first period goal. Spurgeon became the fourth player in Wild history to reach the 400-point threshold, and the first defenseman. When congratulated on the career milestone, the always humble and soft-spoken Wild Captain said, “400 what?” He would then capture another milestone the following night in Montreal by recording his 401st career point with an assist, passing Zach Parise for third-most points in franchise history. Spurgeon wasn’t the only Wild defenseman to reach a career milestone in Montreal, however. Zach Bogosian skated in his 900th career NHL game, 113 of which came in a Wild sweater. Bogosian ranks 10th in games played amongst active NHL defensemen born in the United States.
