1. The Wild maintained an impressive bit of history.
The Panthers are one of just two teams in the NHL (Vegas) to have never won a game in regulation at Xcel Energy Center. They tied here once. They also won once in a shootout.
But in the nearly two decades the Wild and Panthers have been in the same League, Florida has never won here in regulation.
That continued on Thursday, as a pair of second-period goals by the Wild broke a 1-1 tie, and Minnesota ran its all-time record at home against the Panthers to 10-0-2.
2. Nino Niederreiter goal streak is officially a streak.
If a streak doesn't officially exist until it hits number three, Niederreiter's stretch of consecutive games with a goal has become a three-game streak.
After tallying a third-period goal in Edmonton last Friday and securing pretty tip-in in the win over Montreal on Tuesday, Niederreiter doubled his pleasure and doubled his fun with a two-goal night versus the Panthers.
