Keep your heads up, Wilderness... Minnesota’s loss to Washington wasn’t so bad. The Wild did get outshot by a significant margin—43 to 31 officially—but it actually played a pretty good game from start to finish. The Wild had plenty of scoring chances and could have equalized on a number of occasions, but it just couldn’t solve Braden Holtby, who played like the elite goaltender that he is. For the first time in what felt like quite a while, there wasn’t really a period in that game where Minnesota looked like it was skating uphill or getting completely dominated, so I guess you could say that it was one of the Wild’s more complete games of the season.
