Coach Bruce Boudreau said Friday’s game ranks up there with his club’s best game this season.“I was a little worried about the first period because I thought they would come out knowing we played last night really hard and it was the opposite.

It was Anaheim’s first goal with the man advantage in its last 16 chances.Brodin put the Wild back up by three goals midway through the third when he fired one into the top corner of the net for his third.
