1. Six Third Period Goals

The Minnesota Wild scored six third period goals against the Dallas Stars on Sunday night. That’s the most goals that the Wild have ever scored in a period. That period supplanted a five-goal period against the San Jose Sharks on October 19, 2005.

It also tied a franchise record for most goals allowed in a period by the Stars. They’d done it twice before as the Minnesota North Stars in 1975.
