Game 2 Preview: Can Minnesota even the series?

There is no reason why this team should not be putting in a true effort and competing hard to even the series and head to Missouri with a 1-1 draw.
The simple fact that almost half of the entire game was played on the special teams — an area where we all know the Wild struggle — it was a doomed start to the first round almost automatically. If the officials put away their whistles just a little more often, this will be a different game and one where we can finally feel good about this team.
