Last night, the Minnesota Wild hosted the Western Conference-leading Vegas Golden Knights. Vegas was on the second half of a back-to-back, and the Wild took advantage, running them out of the Xcel Energy Center.
That was good, but they knew they were going to be in the same position tonight. Minnesota travelled to Dallas tonight to square off against the Stars. The key for the Wild was to not let Dallas run them out of their building in the same way.
That didn’t work out quite so well. Minnesota couldn’t sustain an effort to match the rested Stars, and Dallas dismantled the Wild’s defense in a 6-1 victory.
