The Minnesota Wild take the lead in the Central Division with a late 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Against the courageous NHL latecomer, it is Ryan Reaves (28th) who puts Marco Rossi’s franchise in the lead. However, the German Lukas Reichel (42nd) leveled the game again at the beginning of the final section.
1:11 minutes before the end of regular time, Ryan Hartman (59th) steals the puck from Chicago defender Connor Murphy and leaves goalie Alex Stalock no chance in the breakaway. Frederick Gaudreau (60./EN) provides the final point with an empty netter.
With the Dallas Stars suffering a surprise 3-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, the Wild now lead the Texans by a point in the Central Division. In the playoff race, things are also looking good for the Wild, with a whopping twelve point lead over the first non-playoff place.
On Sunday, the Colorado Avalanche will meet in the LIVE game of LAOLA1 to the Arizona Coyotes (from 9:00 p.m. on the LIVE stream>>> and on the linear TV channel from LAOLA1).
