Play-In Report Card: Alex Galchenyuk completely failed to impress against Vancouver

After being acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Jason Zucker back in February, many Minnesota Wild fans were hoping Alex Galchenyuk would be able to provide the team a little more stability down the middle. With Eric Staal, Joel Eriksson Ek, Victor Rask and an aging Mikko Koivu as the best centers on the roster, the former 30-goal scorer with the Montreal Canadiens had a fantastic opportunity to play a significant role for his new team as they embarked on their five-game series against the Vancouver Canucks.
