Watch: Goal of the Night - Erik Haula

Watch: Goal of the Night—Erik Haula 

Erik Haula receives a great dish from Jordan Schroeder at the doorstep and snaps a shot past Kari Lehtonen to give the Wild a 2-0 lead.

The rest of the game has been the Darcy Kemper show made 34 saves. “Tonight it was goaltending,” Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. “I think for the most part it’s the desire to win. We put ourselves in a good position and we want to continue to stay in that position. There is a really good profound desire to succeed."

“I thought he was by far our best player tonight. He played really good. He finally got rewarded for the effort he’s been putting in in practice. To be thrown into games—coming back off the road and having to play [the Chicago Blackhawks, a 4-3 overtime loss Feb. 8] and stuff—we have the faith in him. That’s why we do those things." Said Boudreau on Kemper.
