The Minnesota Wild have done it—they’ve forced a Game 7 against the Vegas Golden Knights after being down 3-1 in the series. While this is stellar news for the Wild, Vegas is now facing down the same situation they faced in 2019, where the San Jose Sharks made an incredible comeback from a 3-1 series deficit to defeat the Knights in the first round.
Now it’s Minnesota’s turn.
Despite a controversial goaltender interference call that resulted in the Wild going on the man advantage—resulting in a Wild goal—Cam Talbot had the performance of his career, stopping all 23 of Vegas’ shots for his second shutout of the series.
