Wild winning streak snapped with 3-1 loss to Capitals

The Minnesota Wild had been winning the last four games in multiple ways. Usually on the back of some great goaltending, the last game was some third period to stun the Nashville Predators. Playing the always dangerous Alexander Ovechkin and the rest of the Washington Capitals is never an easy task, especially with some terrible habits rearing their head. Minnesota would need a consistent game to stay in lock-step with the Caps.

The hometown squad didn’t do themselves any favors by taking a bunch of penalties and it cost them early. Minnesota was riding a 17-for-17 kill streak coming into the game.
