Game Recap:
I haven't been this disappointed in the Wild in a while. They had the opportunity for the game in front of them and just let it slip away. St. Louis scored first in the 1st period. Kaprizov scored soon after to even the game at one a piece. He scored again 50 seconds later to give the Wild their only lead of the game. That would conclude the scoring for Minnesota. St. Louis scored 4 straight goals.
I will be honest, I am not quite sure how the Wild come back from this. Do they switch goalies do they make a line change? Not sure, couldn't tell ya, and I am glad I don't make those decisions.
