The Minnesota Wild gripped the hockey world on Tuesday with an impromptu Marc-Andre Fleury appearance. It meant a little more to a former goalie and his dad.
The win helped solidify the Wild鈥檚 hold on the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, giving them six points, 91-85, on idle Calgary.
The good news is that on Wednesday 鈥� a day after playing shorthanded 鈥� the Wild will be able to call up a forward and, under the NHL鈥檚 emergency rules, not have it count against the salary cap.
