Wild rally falls short in OT loss to Flames

Minnesota scored twice in the third period to force overtime, but the Flames scored the game winning goal just like their other two goals in the game - by failing to pick up the late trailing guy. It would be the first time in the last 5 overtime games the Wild would fail to come out on top.

The game was a microcosm of the many things that ails this team. From a lack of speed, questionable defense, missing opportunities, and disappearing for whole chunks of the game, and yet, the Wild were somehow still had a chance to win the game.
