Here’s an impressive start for the Wild: not only did they move to 5-2-1 with their 4-0 win over Buffalo on Thursday, but with Marco Scandella, Christian Folin and Nate Prosser assisting on goals, every skater on their active roster has a point this season.
With Folin's assist on Suter's goal, every #mnwild skater has a point this season 😏 #MINvsBUF

That’s pretty impressive considering it only took 8 games for the Wild to do that.
Defenseman Ryan Suter leads the Wild with 9 points (3 goals, 6 assists). He’s also tied for the team lead in goals with Eric Staal and Charlie Coyle.
Zach Parise – who scored his 300th career goal last weekend – nearly lit the lamp on Thursday but it was waved off. He’s been firing a ton of shots on net, too, leading the team with 26 shots on goal entering play Thursday.
It’s been a team effort all season for the Wild, who have 16 different goal scorers. That’s three more than any other team entering play on Wednesday Oct. 26.
…#mnwild's 16 goal scorers are 3 more than any other #NHL team. Wild's 24 total goals are T-1st in NHL and 15 2nd-period goals lead NHL…

Goaltender Devan Dubnyk has also posted back-to-back shutouts as well.
