The Minnesota Wild were down, and out a lot of talent in the lineup; but they did not prevent them from getting two points against the Washington Capitals on Saturday night. Here’s 4 Things from that game:
1 — The Wild will always make it interesting and somehow force overtime now matter who’s playing.
In typical modern Minnesota fashion, the Wild came back from a two-goal deficit to end up being crowned the winner. And it wasn’t some lengthy period of gritty hockey that pecked away at Washington either. The first goal appeared to come out of nowhere, with Carl Hagelin scoring on his own empty net during a delayed penalty — more on that later — and then the second, of course, came in the final minute while the Wild had the extra skater on the ice.
