Matt Boldy, who had two Grade A chances earlier in overtime, including a goal called back on an obvious kicking motion, scored with 29 seconds left in the extra period to give the Wild a 3-2 win over the Stars at Xcel Center in Saint Paul, Minn., leveling the series at two games apiece:
Both goaltenders were exceptional, with Jake Oettinger making 40 saves before Boldy's perfect tip beat him, and Jesper Wallstedt made 43 saves to earn the victory.
My take: I recorded this one earlier and watched it after the Penguins game. Terrific contest, and now we're guaranteed at least two more games of it. There is some very exciting hockey being played in these playoffs, so far. Fingers-crossed it continues.
