It’s tough to get past letting in nine goals against a team that is lower than you in the standings. The Minnesota Wild were 10 points ahead of the St. Louis Blues entering Friday’s game and starter Kaapo Kahkonen was set to build upon his impressive first full season as an NHL goaltender.
He stepped onto the ice with a .934 save percentage, but after an hour of play, he left the arena with a .909 save percentage.
One simple statistic that a lot of analysis of the position is based upon, turned on its head with one blowout performance.
