After getting a hat trick against Buffalo on Thursday, Nino Niederreiter is showing no signs of slowing down. He chipped in his eighth goal of the season tonight, by going forehand to backhand while falling in a remarkably display of skill and determination.
Zach Parise added two more goals for the Wild before the first period was over to give them a 3-0 lead over Winnipeg.
The Jets put goaltender Michael Hutchinson into the game for the start of the second frame in place of Ondrej Pavelec, but for Niederreiter’s goal at least, there wasn’t much more Pavelec could have done.
