"We felt we had really good regular season experience this year and learned a bunch of things". "You just try to be aggressive and play it just like any other breakaway". "What I mean by that is we can say we had strong pushes in certain things, but I think we did take a step tonight".
Paul Stastny, Andrew Copp and Patrik Laine scored in the third period for Winnipeg.
Jets defenceman Tyler Myers had a goal in the second period and also picked up an assist.
In his first National Hockey League postseason, Laine has posted two goals and a helper with 10 shots on goal through just two games.
The series now shifts back to Minnesota, where the Wild will need a massive turnaround in order to get back in the series. "We know the series is (far) from over and we're just taking it one game at a time". With 10 seconds left, Daniel Winnik of the Wild fought Brandon Tanev of the Jets.
Asked whether they planned to keep their cheering at a minimum as some of the only Wild fans in the building, Broeffle quickly responded, "Heck no".
Murray actually managed to get his right pad on Couturier's shot from in front but the puck popped up, caromed off Letang and into the net 47 seconds into the second.

She knows what it's going to take-a team of the best in their field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller ( Cate Blanchett ).
Hellebuyck made 16 saves. Devan Dubnyk stopped 39 shots for Minnesota. Game 2 was indeed different from Game 1. Game 3 is Sunday in Minnesota. It's a free couple wins, ' " Parise said. "We got to figure out a way to get some offensive zone time".
"Once you get out there and get playing the game and get into the feel of the game and make a pass or a hit or something like that, you just feel like you're playing", he said.
Winnipeg's Mathieu Perreault - who missed the second half of Wednesday's series opener after finding himself on the receiving end of many thunderous body checks - did not dress for the Jets, as rookie Jack Roslovic took his place in the lineup alongside Bryan Little and Joel Armia on Winnipeg's third line. That included three shots at Hellebuyck during a power play with Myers in the box for tripping. The Jets then turned on a switch and had outshot the visitors 13-9 when the period ended, but many were from the outside.
The Wild will have to ramp up a big segment of their play, considering they didn't get a shot on goal for the last five minutes of the second period and the first 15 minutes of the third.
"I'm hoping there will be lots of Jets fans there, regardless we will be very loud and vocal to support our team, and we are wearing white!", emailed Wazny, a season ticket holder for last two seasons and fan since the days of the original Jets who got tickets for Game 3 as soon as the playoff schedule was released.
"We did bend a little bit in the third but didn't break, so it's a good feeling to be up 2-0", Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman said. "I'm definitely going to be looking at the replays because the crowd went nuts".
