EDGE Analysis

Eriksson Ek opened the scoring just 19 seconds into the game, intercepting an errant Vegas pass in left faceoff circle and whipping a quick shot past Marc-Andre Fleury. He added his second goal six minutes into the middle frame, crashing the net to jam home his own rebound and give the Wild a 3-1 cushion. The outburst broke a five-game goal drought for the 24-year-old, who has lit the lamp a career-high 10 times in 24 contests.
