Re: The New Path in the North: A Minnesota Wild Dynasty (NHL 09)

Yeah Brunette signed as a free agent with the Wild after his Colorado contract. I then traded him to Buffalo because he was terrible.

BATTLING FORWARD


Pierre-Marc Bouchard has already passed last year's goal total of 13 with 17 goals in 35 games this season.

NY ISLANDERS 4 MINNESOTA 6
- Mikko Koivu 2 power play goals, 1 assist
- Eric Belanger game winning goal, 1 assist
- Marian Gaborik and Clarke MacArthur 1 goal, 1 assist each
- Colton Gillies empty net goal
- Sean Bergenheim and Jesse Joensuu 1 shorthanded goal, 1 assist each

WILD RECORD THROUGH 35 GAMES: 28-4-3 (1ST IN WEST)

--------------------------------------------------------------


FINDING HIS PLACE
After being traded from Buffalo to Minnesota, Clarke MacArthur struggled to produce with only 1 goal in 19 games. Recently though, MacArthur put together a streak that showed what he's capable of adding to the Wild. Over a 3 game span, MacArthur notched 4 goals and 1 assist, and he's recently added penalty killing to his team duties.



NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED
Playing on the 4th line and killing penalties can be a thankless job at times, but Dan Fritsche has excelled at both and is a vital part of the Wild's success. In limited time, the former Blue Jacket and Ranger has contributed 7 goals with 2 coming shorthanded. Once the young American develops more consistency in the faceoff circle, he should find himself racking up more minutes played.

WILD RECORD THROUGH 40 GAMES: 33-4-3 (1ST IN WEST)

--------------------------------------------------------------


BLUELINE FIXTURE
A relaible defensive-defenseman, Nick Schultz is someone Wild fans have gotten used to seeing and will continue to see on Minnesota's top defensive pairing. Schultz, who is locked up contractually for the next six years, is also having his best offensive year of his career with 1 goal and 30 assists which puts him among the league's top dish masters.



BUSINESS AS USUAL
Kim Johnsson may not jump out on the stat sheet, but the 32-year-old veteran has shown why an 11th round pick in 1994 has over 600 games of NHL experience under his belt. With his blazing speed and exceptional discipline, Johnsson is rarely caught out of position which has earned him the trust of the coaching staff and all his teammates.
