by from on (#26CYS)
All is well in the State of Hockey.
With a 7-4 win over the New York Rangers on Friday, the Minnesota Wild extended their current win streak to 10 games, setting a new franchise record.
Here's how they got it done:
| Date | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Dec. 4 | @ Oilers | W 2-1 (OT) |
| Dec. 7 | @ Maple Leafs | W 3-2 |
| Dec. 9 | Oilers | W 3-2 (SO) |
| Dec. 11 | Blues | W 3-1 |
| Dec. 13 | Panthers | W 5-1 |
| Dec. 15 | @ Predators | W 5-2 |
| Dec. 17 | Coyotes | W 4-1 |
| Dec. 20 | Avalanche | W 2-0 |
| Dec. 22 | @ Canadiens | W 4-2 |
| Dec. 23 | @ Rangers |
The streak has helped solidify the Wild's hold on second place in the Central Division, sitting two points behind the Chicago Blackhawks with three games in hand.
Suffice to say the hiring of Bruce Boudreau as head coach is paying off quite nicely so far.
