After blowing a 2-1 lead late in the third period, the Minnesota Wild were back on their heels at the start of overtime. But, Wild forward Matt Cullen made an awesome play from his stomach to not only keep control of the puck but to get it to Jason Zucker. Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford was down early and that gave Zucker some room up top to shoot. Despite his horrible angle, Zucker found a space and fired the puck home to win the game. This goal brought the series to 2-1 and has given the Wild a chance again. Had they gone down 3-0 they would have been in serious trouble.
