Opening the scoring for the Wild was Adam Thibault, stuffing a shot home beside the goal, assists going to Jim Keck and KC Reardon. Chris Seman scored the second goal for the Wild on a great pass from KC Reardon. KC Reardon would then add a goal himself, his third point of the night, putting the Wild up 3-0. The Bruins finally had an answer as they got a power-play opportunity and scored just :08 seconds in to the man advantage, an unassisted goal by Bryan Werner. Jim Keck would add another goal for the Wild in the closing seconds of the first giving them their biggest lead of the season 4-1 after one period.

Tied at 4 goals apiece as the third period got underway the teams traded scoring chances and the Wild closed the gap on the shots on goal. The Wild out-shot the Bruins in the third period 14-12 but in the end they would come up short. The Bruins scored first in the period taking a 5-4 on Chris Donovan’s short handed slapshot that easily found the back of the net. Frank Plati put the Bruins up 6-4 with what would be the eventual game winner assisted by Dan Agnew and Ryan Daley. For the Wild, Chris Seman would net his second goal of the game with 10 minutes left to play pulling them back within one but that’s all they could muster. The Bruins held on for the 6-5 victory.
