Wild vs Lightning, The Ugly: Minnesota was unable to take full advantage of Hildeby who seemed to be fighting the puck a fair portion of the game. Didnβt like seeing the large amount of space they were giving John Carlson fire bombs from the high slot / point. #mnwild
Wild vs Lightning, The Bad: Slow & sluggish start had the #mnwild chasing this game right away. Brink may be making good plays with the puck, but this team needs him to demonstrate he can be a finisher in order to use him in the Top 6. Not a great game for Spacek.
Wild vs Lightning, The Good: Better energy 2nd period where the Wild clawed back into the game. Wallstedt made a number of key saves to give his team a chance in this game. 2nd power play unit finds the back of the net tonight. #mnwild
The Wild were tamed by the Lightning 3-2, a shocking night. Every player's Sleuth Rating from tonight's game. #mnwild #SleuthRating https://pucksleuth.com/game/2026020060?team=MIN
