The Minnesota Wild are in a battle north of the border on Tuesday night, traveling to face the Montreal Canadiens.
Heading into the third period with a one-goal lead, Matt Boldy made the highlight reel, going between the legs for his 15th goal of the season.

The play began when the Wild entered the offensive zone. Kevin Fiala took the puck into the corner before wildly throwing it toward the net. The puck missed Carey Price but took a strange carom off the end boards.
Boldy was there for the ricochet, putting his stick between the legs to fire on net and out of the reach of Price to give Minnesota a 2-0 lead.
The Wild could use every goal they can get to keep pace in the Western Conference. Although they clinched a playoff spot on Sunday night, they’re looking to secure home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
The goal helped the Wild earn a 2-0 victory and pull into a tie with the Blues with 103 points in the Central Division.
