Remember that game against the Capitals back in March when Alex Ovechkin had three power play goals from the left circle and the Wild lost 4-3? Well, one might think that that game would have been a good learning experience for Minnesota that when it’s playing against a team that has an elite right-shot forward with a massive slapper, that team’s power play may try to get the puck to said elite right-shot forward somewhere around the top of the left circle. Last night, however, Patrik Laine was left alone in that spot to deposit two blasts behind Devan Dubnyk, as the Jets handed the Wild another 4-3 defeat.
Concerning trends appearing for the Wild, but there’s no time to dwell
