ANAHEIM, Calif. — Marcus Foligno admitted that the Minnesota Wild’s 3-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night wasn’t picture perfect, but for a team that is still working its way back after having its season paused due to COVID-19 protocols, any win will do.
“It was not pretty or our best game, but we know we are going to get better,” said Foligno, who scored late in the third period. “It is important to break the ice with a win after two weeks of not doing anything.”
Ryan Hartman and Kevin Fiala scored 38 seconds apart in the first period, and Kaapo Kahkonen stopped 16 shots for the Wild, who snapped a two-game losing streak.
