We stayed up for that?

The Minnesota Wild have started off their road trip with a 1-0 defeat to the Los Angeles Kings. A game that had nothing going for the Wild except the man in between the pipes and players willing to lay their body on the line for that man.

Marc-Andre Fleury saved 29 of the 30 shots he faced, including 11 full minutes of that time being spent on the penalty kill. He managed to single handedly keep the Wild in this game for over 53 minutes, until Gabe Vilardi scored the only goal of this game in the third period and clinched the victory for his Kings.
