Just a few nights after seeing Devan Dubnyk replaced in net by backup tender, Alex Stalock as a result of a seven-goal rout at the hands of Edmonton; the Minnesota Wild turned the tables on Montreal, showing up big-time with a display unlike any Wild performance we’ve seen lately.
The damage had already been done by the time the Montreal Canadiens finally decided to pull Antti Niemi out, with seven goals going past him on 24 shots; ending the night with a brutal 0.708 save percentage. Carey Price, in relief, saved 9 out of 9 shots but the damage had already been done by that point.
