Recap: Wild vanquish comeback king Canucks for 3-0 win

I have no notes.

The Minnesota Wild delivered a complete team game, being unforgiving on defense and unrelenting on offense in a 3-0 shut out of the NHL’s comeback kings, the Vancouver Canucks, on Saturday night.

Filip Gustavsson was impenetrable in the win, as the Wild looked to be the better team for all 60 minutes tonight.

One of the bigger stories heading into this one was the NHL debut of Iowa Wild superstar Sammy Walker, who’s currently the AHL’s rookie scoring leader. The Minnesota native and former Gophers captain was called up just before puck drop on Friday night, and got on a plane to Vancouver for his first NHL game.
