The Minnesota Wild took on the St. Louis Blues Saturday night in St. Paul. The team had a chance to respond to a disappointing 2-1 loss in St. Louis three days ago. The Blues were playing in their second of a back-to-back, coming off an overtime win against Columbus. Could the Wild take advantage of a team that had to play extra time and travel the night before? Could they take advantage of playing backup goaltender Jake Allen instead of Jordan Binnington?
In a surprising turn of events, the Wild got off to a fast start.
