Wild Steamroll Canucks in 5-2 Rout

The Wild catch fire against a Canucks squad that's been leaking oil lately, with Minnesota's depth players stepping up in ways Vancouver's scouts didn't see coming. Whispers from the Minnesota front office hint at this win quieting any trade deadline jitters for GM Bill Guerin. As the playoff race tightens in the West, every point like this keeps the Wild firmly in the hunt for home ice.
