After an exciting 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday, the Minnesota Wild were back in action Tuesday night looking to earn consecutive wins for the first time this season. The Edmonton Oilers were in town, meaning the Wild were tasked with containing hockey wizards Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
And did they ever.
Despite goaltender Devan Dubnyk leaving the game with an injury early in the middle period, the Wild managed to hold McDavid’s Oilers to exactly zero (0) points through 60 minutes, marking the second time in as many games that Edmonton failed to get on the scoresheet.
