Wild Start Slow, Can't Stop Loui Eriksson

Another game, another slow start, another loss. The Wild came out looking like they were half-asleep, and couldn't stop Loui Eriksson. To add injury to insult, Zucker was carried off the ice at the end of a stinker in Boston.

First Period

Apparently the Wild haven't figured out how to start a game on time, as they came out slow (again). Not wanting to take advantage, the Bruins gave the Wild two early power plays, but the best scoring chances went to the home team. Shortly after the second penalty was killed by the Bruins, Brad Marchand skated a circle around both Matt Dumba and the net to score a wraparound, which Dubnyk couldn't have been further away from if he had tried.
