It’s really hard to not think that the Wild really missed a chance after dropping a 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings. With a 3-2 lead inside the final minute of the game, Dustin Brown tied the game to force overtime. It was two important points to add to the ever-growing tally of points left on the table by the Wild this season.
The first period was an even game as both teams knew how important the game was. Shots finished at nine apiece, but the Wild had some of the better chances in the period.
