Bruce Boudreau has a way with words.

The Minnesota Wild head coach was asked how he felt about his team tying a franchise record with its ninth straight win, and his answer was something.

"Tying is like kissing your sister," Boudreau said, according to the Star Tribune's Michael Russo. "Getting it is the nice thing. Our job's not done."

The Wild will go for 10 on Friday in Manhattan, when they visit the New York Rangers. They'll once again be without Zach Parise, Boudreau confirmed, as the winger's dealing with an illness that cost him Thursday's game, as well.

Devan Dubnyk was exceptional again Thursday, but backup Darcy Kuemper should get the call in the second half of a back-to-back.
