On the night, the Minnesota Wild vastly out-shot their opponent to the tune of 41 shots to 23, but despite that, they succumbed to a 5-3 loss on their home ice. Far from letting all of the talk around the newly re-signed William Nylander distract them; it actually seemed to focus the resurgent Maple Leafs.
Of all the players to net a goal against them too, Tyler Ennis, who the Minnesota Wild let go in the summer, was one of them. He managed just 8 goals in a whole season with the Wild, the goal against them is his 4th this year already, whilst fulfilling fourth-line duties.
