Like Ash in The Evil Dead, the Minnesota Wild barely escaped an onslaught from a team that's the stuff of nightmares. Devan Dubnyk's mistakes made last night's win over the Blackhawks a much more harrowing experience than necessary, and there was carnage as the Wild were forced to cut off their own hand with a chainsaw lost Justin Fontaine to a knee-on-knee hit.
Tonight's sequel in this back-to-back features a St. Louis Blues team that looks less like an Army of Darkness and more like a rag-tag group of survivors left behind in the wake of supernatural destruction.
