Last season when the Minnesota Wild welcomed the Columbus Blue Jackets to the X it was a big battle of the winning streaks. Slightly less on the line tonight as both teams are facing off very early in the season, and hardly the time to build such winning streaks. The Wild have had to endure some pretty significant injuries early this season with 5 key-players out of the lineup tonight. Even with the depleted lineup, the Wild was able to secure a 2-goal lead twice in the game, but Columbus just wouldn’t go away and eventually beat the Wild 5-4 in overtime.
