Not much to complain about.
Player of the Game:
Veteran defence man Dan Tjarnqvist is POW tonight. Dan had 2 goals and an assist to lead the Jets attack.
Turning Point:
Just under 2 minutes after the Wild took the lead at 2-1; Mark Recchi stripped the puck from Chris Tamer and walked in on a 2 on none with Stu Barnes. Recchi passed it over to Barnes who potted his 13th goal of the season. The goal sparked the Jets comeback as they went on to score 3 more goals on route to the win.

Rematch on Wednesday!
