Recap: Wild suffer gut-wrenching loss to Golden Knights

We are all frustrated, so I would like to go over the facts first.

The Minnesota Wild have been dead even in the series with the Vegas Golden Knights with 97 shots apiece at even-strength.

The Wild have a 3.5% team-wide shooting percentage, 2nd-worst in the NHL playoffs. This contrasts their 11.3% team shooting percentage, 3rd-best in the league for the regular season.

Marc-Andre Fleury has a .966 Sv%, including being perfect on the penalty kill, stopping all 11 shots he’s faced.

There’s only so much you can control in hockey, and the Wild are finding that out at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way.
