After a tough loss against Ottawa, the Minnesota Wild continued their Canadian trip to the Toronto Maple Leafs, in search of a win. While both teams are struggling as of late, Toronto losing their last three and five of their last seven, both teams are sitting in third in their respective divisions. After a thrilling game earlier in the year that saw the Wild come out on top, the game between two hungry opponents was set to be a good one.
Minnesota had no trouble finding chances out of the gate. Toronto seemed to be surrendering the center of the ice, resulting in several high quality shots.
