This should just be referred to as “The Cam Talbot Game” going forward.
Another late game start for the Minnesota Wild, and it started a little rocky. An off-balance shot from William Karlsson beat Talbot high, and the Vegas Golden Knights held an early lead only three and a half minutes in.
It didn’t last long, as Kirill Kaprizov tied the game near the eight-minute mark, following another middling power-play opportunity.
The Wild’s ineffective powerplay is the butt of many jokes. It typically doesn’t look as bad as you might think, being the worst powerplay in the league at just 10.
