There isn’t much to say. Minnesota was handled on home ice by the Blues and their former head coach. Vladimir Tarasenko’s goal a little more than half-way through the third period on a passing play by Jaden Schwartz in front of Wild starter Devan Dubnyk would stand up as the game-winner.
Outside of an early power play by the Wild, there wasn’t much sustained pressure on Jake Allen most of the night. Sure, he made decent saves when he needed to, like a short-handed stop on Eric Staal on a breakaway.
