Marcus Foligno scored a pair of goals and the Minnesota Wild scored three times in the third period to lead a 6-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday night.
After Mason Shaw scored in the first period to put the Wild on the board, Calen Addison added to the lead with a shot that deflected straight into the air off Connor Hellebuyck and into the back of the Winnipeg net.
