When the BEL named their teams prior to the league, they must have known that the Wild was going to be a team that had some wild games and finishes. Monday was a perfect example, trailing 6-4 halfway through the second half they scored two goals both by their Monday heroes Spencer Schneider and Jackson Wille. Wille tied it with 1:51 to go in the game and Schneider got the lone goal in the shootout to lift the Wild to their fourth win in six games. Schneider finished with three goals plus a shootout goal and Wille had a huge game tallying three and two assists.
The Bruins Jack Jensen had two more goals to add to his league leading totals of 8G/8A. Jensen is a hard worker that is relentless in goal scoring situations. In case you missed the game Monday, the two teams will face off again Wednesday night at Bloomington Ice Garden, a game that will likely find some high scoring and excitement.
