Sometimes, it takes an egregious error to wake up a team and completely change the projected result of the game. The Minnesota Wild learned that tonight as they hosted the Seattle Kraken and the first taste of scoring in the game was solely caused by a substantial mess up from goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.

And if the error-caused goal wasn’t enough the Kraken scored again within the first 10 minutes of the game, putting the Wild in a two-goal hole in a game that they were expected to come out with an easy victory in.
