We’ve talked up the backup Minnesota Wild goalie and his ability to make a play before; but with the suggestion of running him out as a specialist over-time goalie. Alex Stalock on this occasion took advantage of the power-play to get the team moving and Zach Parise eventually scoring.
The first period otherwise was a brutal affair for the Minnesota Wild; with team defense several lacking resulting in 22 shots on Alex Stalock’s net.
Time and again, even since rules came in within the league to limit the play-making ability of goaltenders, Alex Stalock has shown for the Minnesota Wild that he is one of a rare breed.
