Game Recap:
Minnesota came out of the tunnel not nearly as locked in as previous nights. The Wild were more scrappy and not as focused. They allowed an early goal after Fleury misplaced where the puck went after a save. The Wild scored 5 minutes later off a one-timer from Kaprizov. In the 2nd period the Wild fell apart for most of it. The Blues scored two more goals off of sloppy plays by Minnesota as well as an own goal. 
In the 3rd period, the Wild scored with Matt Boldy's first career playoff goal to make a one goal game. But as soon as the Wild pulled Fleury it all fell apart. This wasn't the same team that had multiple comebacks during the regular season, they just couldn't put anything together.

Injury Report:
No injuries again, but Hartman had a nasty hit in the 3rd period that sent him to the bench. 

Up Next:
Now the Wild will head home for Game 5 against the Blues. Puck drop is at 8:30 PM CT on Tuesday, May 10th and will be broadcast on ESPN and BSN.

​Go Wild!
