Wilderness Walk: Rematch

The Minnesota Wild take on the Winnipeg Jets once again in the preseason, this time at home in St. Paul with a more NHL-ready lineup. Of course, the lineup from Monday had pretty good success, winning in the shootout. Then again, Fully half of the game was played on special teams, so it counts even less than a normal preseason game as a measure of where both teams are actually at. Not to diminish what they accomplished on Monday. Several players stepped up, Steven Michalek most of all. Hanging with a Jets team that was loaded with talent has to be an encouraging result for the players and the coaches.
