The first period featured a lot of what we witnessed this season. The Wild coming out slow and not testing opposition goalies right away. With just seven shots on goal, the Wild had a few rushes end without a shot. Ryan Donato sent a puck from the right offensive circle to Nico Sturm on the open wing, but the puck tipped off the prone defenseman's skate. Other chances saw the puck roll off the ends of sticks only to end up as a turnover. As for Dallas, Alex Stalock turned away all 14 shots on goal he saw in the opening frame.
Wild shutout 3-0 in season finale. Where do we go from here?
