Following a blanked first period in which the Wild failed to convert on four power plays, Huberdeau opened the scoring at 4:21 of the middle frame. Andersson’s wraparound attempt was denied, but Huberdeau was on the spot for the loose puck and netted his first goal in 15 games.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n After needing nearly 14 minutes to register a shot in the second period, the Wild regained some momentum and were rewarded when Trenin tied the clash by deflecting Zach Bogosian’s point shot.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n –Field Level Media<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
