Another game against the St. Louis Blues, another tough loss in a close game for the Minnesota Wild.
In the second game in two nights — with a third coming Friday — the Wild were expected to come out with a plan after conceding three unanswered, third-period goals against the Blues for the loss the night before. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
But first, some paperwork.
Nick Njugstad was available but remained a scratch as he’s likely not back to 100% after missing some time for an upper-body injury.
