After getting past the San Jose Sharks by a final score of 4-1 on Friday evening, the Wild will once again take to the ice Sunday to face off with their division opponent inside Xcel Energy Center.
Friday’s tilt saw a truly defensive battle for most of the contest, as it felt neither team truly had their grasp on the game until the very end when Minnesota was able to secure empty net goals from Kevin Fiala and Jordan Greenway.
When: 7:00 p.m. CT
The Wild blocked a season-high 24 shots in the victory and responded well to adversity when starting goaltender Cam Talbot exited the game after the first period when he looked to suffer a non-contact injury near the ending of the opening frame.
