Should we just start copy and pasting any recap that has the Minnesota Wild down a single goal in the final minutes of regulation now? Because seriously, we might as well.
The Wild were battling back and forth with the Columbus Blue Jackets for the first 40 minutes of this game. It was evident that some scoring chances were just not going their way and Columbus netminder Elvis Merzlikins was making some massive saves to keep his team relatively in it. With the score 2-1 in the Blue Jackets’ favor, the Wild applied an unimaginable amount of pressure in the third period.
