The Minnesota Wild headed into Michigan with a little bit more confidence than they had last week, but it still wasn’t enough against the Detroit Red Wings, as they suffered a 2-1 loss to the home team.
Kirill Kaprizov and Lucas Raymond were the stars for their respective clubs, being the only goal scorers of the night and it ended up being a back-and-forth tilt between two teams that desperately want to improve on their season so far.
The scoring started right away on the ice of Little Caesar’s Arena tonight. Minnesota pushed down hard in Detroit’s zone almost immediately, saw the puck head the other way, but then Kaprizov and Zuccarello launched themselves on an odd-man rush on the counterattack to get the game’s first goal and Kirill’s sixth of the season.
