That was a bit of an odd victory for the Minnesota Wild. It was pretty much a no-doubter, with little drama from the opening minutes, but it still didn’t feel like Minnesota had its best game. The Wild was aided by some poor play from the Montreal Canadiens and even poorer play by their historically phenomenal goalie, who happened to have an atrocious first period. Minnesota also left a bit of a bad taste in the mouths of fans by giving the Habs momentary hope in the last few minutes of the game, when Devan Dubnyk allowed an undeniably soft goal off of a Brendan Gallagher shot from the corner, briefly bringing Montreal within two goals.
