It's just something we stumbled across. Obviously, it's a positive thing. To build on it, obviously it's good, but in the room before the game, it hasn't been a focus. With the Thrashers on a power play, Andrew Brunette took a feed from Ray Ferraro near the left corner and whipped a centering pass that Audette redirected past McLennan. The NHL's Player of the Month for December, Audette has four goals in his last five games.
Most teams now are pretty good.
Just over two minutes before Audette scored, Minnesota defenseman Curtis Leschyshyn notched his first goal since scoring for Carolina on February 12. During a Wild power play, he fired a shot from the right point past Rhodes. I didn't get very good wood on it. I'll take it whatever ways they go in for me. Leschyshyn's goalless drought spanned 99 games.
