Matt Boldy delivered the final go-ahead goal 3 minutes, 57 seconds into the third period to snap a 4-4 tie after a Jake Middleton equalizer only 1:16 into the period in the defenseman’s return from injury.

PAUL - The Minnesota Wild (25-11-4) are back home to face the St. Louis Blues (19-18-4) tonight. Jake Middleton has been taking steps towards returning to the lineup recently. On Monday Wild head coach John Hynes said that Middleton's return is imminent.

Jake Middleton had a goal and an assist in his first game back from an upper-body injury and the Minnesota Wild came back to defeat the St. Louis Blues 6-4 at Xcel Energy Center on Tuesday. Middleton was injured blocking a shot 37 seconds into the first period of a 7-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Dec.

The St. Louis Blues will air three games later this season on KMOV-TV (Channel 4) and sister station Matrix Midwest in a “test” of broadcasting games on over-the-air television. The Blues have not televised a game on over-the-air television since the 2008-09 National Hockey League season.
