Minnesota could not complete the home-and-home sweep after getting shutout by Juuse Saros, and the Nashville Predators 3-0. It was a highly entertaining game, but the Wild just couldn’t keep pace with the Predators and their ability to skate until the cows come home. Scott Hartnell, P.K. Subban, and Viktor Arvidsson scored in the third period to send the Wild back to the land of snow and ice and cold.
This one was good for the Wild early, who were able to ward off the early push by the Predators.
