ST. LOUIS -- In response to the 6-1 shellacking the Wild took in Game 4, coach Mike Yeo made just one lineup change, hoping consistency would lead to better results than jumbling lines.
But for the second time in the Wild's opening-round playoff series against the Blues, Matt Cooke was inserted to the lineup, taking Sean Bergenheim's place on the fourth line for Friday night's game.
Yeo said the team barely considered mixing things up, choosing instead to believe that a poor Game 4 was an anomaly.
"Obviously, you consider everything," Yeo said, but we didn't have to think about it for too long.
