Last night, the Minnesota Wild saw their eight-game winning streak come to an end at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights. While there was significant focus on the officiating, the sluggish performance for a majority of the game did them no favors. Heading to Sin City, Minnesota looked to win big and return to their winning ways.
Both teams came out of the gates clearly ready to play. To Minnesota’s dismay, a stray Spurgeon skate tripped up a Golden Knight and the Wild found themselves down a man just over a minute into the contest.
