"We gotta keep it going," said Wild coach Bruce Boudreau. "Special teams wins you games and tonight we were a plus-2. Those plus-2 made us win."
The two-goal game on Monday had snapped a six-game goal drought for Granlund, who now has at least one point in five straight games overall, with multi-point efforts in three of those five. During that stretch, Granlund has four goals and five assists.
"Sometimes they go in and sometimes they don't," Granlund said. "As long as you try to play as good as you can, create chances and play responsible, it's gonna happen."
2. Speaking of players who are on fire and scored two goals on Wednesday...
Like Granlund, Nino Niederreiter potted a goal apiece in the first and second periods, giving the Wild a two-goal lead each time.
His power-play goal late in the first period came on a re-direction of a Mikko Koivu shot and was a sneak preview of what was to come on Granlund's power-play marker later in the game.
