Sergei Bobrovski has been playing out of his GD mind as of late. Suffering a 1-0 shutout loss to the Canadiens last game, you can bet he was going to stop anything and everything versus the Western Conference leading Minnesota Wild. That’s exactly what he did, though, it certainly didn’t seem like he needed to be there the whole game as the Wild only mounted a decent, sustained offensive attack in the third period, where they outshot the Blue Jackets 18-13 in the final frame.
The first period featured fairly even play, in terms of shots, but it sure felt like the Blue Jackets had the better of the chances.
