Don't Confuse a Great Win with Great Play

Devan Dubnyk stole a win for the Wild, but they're going to have to play better than they did last night to advance.

After being embarrassed on home ice Wednesday, the Minnesota Wild came out flatter than flat, going without a shot on goal for the game's first 11 minutes and being heavily out-shot 12-3 in the first period. This would continue, as the Blues proceeded to run over the Wild for nearly the entire night, peppering Dubnyk for a total of 37 shots. The Wild spent most of their night struggling to get pucks to Jake Allen, putting just 19 shots on net- merely one more than they did in their humiliating defeat on Wednesday.
