No Puck Sees The Back Of Backstrom

The Minnesota Wild beat the Boston Bruins Tuesday, January sixth. Not only did they win, they shut out the Bruins. The Bruins have not been shut out this whole season, and they are the highest scoring team in the NHL. The Wild can give thanks to their goalie, Niklas Backstom, who played an amazing game on Tuesday. This was his second consecutive shut out, and it came against a very difficult team. It was his fifth shut out of the season, and the fourteenth of his career. His goals against average is now 2.14 and save percentage is .929. The one goal was scored by Marek Zidlicky. It seems for sure that the Mikko Koivu is for sure going to go the the all star game, but with a shut out the night before the western all star roster being announced, Niklas Backstrom prove that he is worthy of going to Montreal as well.
