The Minnesota Wild have had the Vegas Golden Knights’ number ever since the Knights joined the NHL back in 2017. With a nearly perfect record of 5-0-1 against the Golden Knights and an actually perfect record of 3-0 against them on the road, the Wild had every right to enter Tuesday night’s contest oozing with confidence.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t keep their streak of success in Vegas’ barn alive. For the first time ever, the Wild not only lost to the Knights on the road, but also lost to them in regulation. Despite the Wild getting some quality chances, Vegas outplayed Minnesota for much of the game and earned the 3-2 victory on home ice.
