It had been years since former Mr. Hockey winner and Minnesota Gophers captain Sammy Walker had skated at Xcel Energy Center, but it all came back to him in his home debut for the Minnesota Wild.
The Wild pulled out a 2-1 victory for their sixth win in their past seven home games.
The score did not reflect the play. It should have been a bigger gap.
Kirill Kaprizov's 14-game point scoring streak ended for the Wild, however, as Sammy Walker made his NHL debut.
New Wild linemate Matt Boldy on Walker's debut: "Definitely didn't look out of place there. He looked comfortable. He was making plays."
