Wild 3, Canucks 4: Minnesota fails to convert on countless power plays in Game 2 loss

Experience paid off early for the Minnesota Wild. Whatever momentum they carried into game 2 of the NHL qualifying round against the Vancouver Canucks could have been compromised moments after puck drop. Tanner Pearson scored 24 seconds into the game on the first shot of the night, making it 1-0 for Vancouver. Alex Stalock was beat top corner off of a beautiful laser.

GOAL. Not the start the Wild wanted! Tanner Pearson scores 24 seconds into the game.

The Wild remained unsettled and responded well on all the goals against tonight .
