Well that was an interesting way to spend a Monday afternoon.

It seemed to be another day at the office for the Vancouver Canucks, who led the Minnesota Wild 5-2 late in the second period at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

The Wild, however, caught a break when Mats Zuccarello scored a goal that went in off Vancouver’s Ian Cole with 33 seconds remaining in the second.
