The Minnesota Wild are still having one of the hottest starts in the NHL this season, being a mainstay in the top third of overall standings since the first puck dropped, and it has resulted in a fairly gutsy 9-4-0 start. Unfortunately, the most recent match was a disappointing loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in a fairly winnable game but the Wild shot themselves in the foot, dug their own hole, and all those clichés to describe a 3-0 deficit after 40 minutes.
And just of course Minnesota comes back to make the game interesting, scoring two third-period goals, but eventually coming up short.
