Pros:
-Solid defense early on for the Minnesota Wild, out shot the Blues 10-1 early.
-Took the crowd at Scottrade Center out of the game early.
-Coyle’s goal gave the team their first lead in the series with 3:10 left in the period. It was important in the game to make the Blues actually have to press for a goal.
-A little puck luck as the goal post helped Devan Dubnyk keep his shutout bid alive.
Cons:
–Jake Allen still appears on his game. The lone the goal the Wild scored came when the goalie was out of the net.
