Sunday, it was the Kronwalling, a play which will undoubtedly go down as one of the smackdowns of the entire season.

There was no such signpost moment Tuesday. Only a game-winner for Jake. Ho-hum.

Is that all? No, actually. It was a game winner entirely created and finished by the man his teammates kept calling the Big Tuna.

He didn’t win the game all on his own but damn he was close. And to think he did all of this playing just 10 minutes.

He made the shifts count. He was poised to score with Henrik on a 2-on-1, but the captain waited too long to pour him the sauce.

Asked about it later, Coach Green said: “He’s got a lot of assists, I’m not one to tell him how to pass.”

Good point.

Earlier in the game, a puck was left dangling on the Wild goal line and JV18 just missed squeezing his stick blade between Dubnyk’s pad and the post.
