Even though the Minnesota Wild played well for a couple periods of action on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the game slipped away from them due to some unfortunate focus on special teams. Ryan Hartman took two minor penalties in the game and after the 4-2 loss, he blamed himself for the result.
Ryan Hartman said he’s felt like he’s “let the team down” as of late. Penalties etc. Wants to be better. Said he thought #mnwild “dominated” Tampa at times tonight.

He let the Lightning get back into the game and because of that, head coach Dean Evason agrees with Hartman’s sentiment.
