Well. For the 2nd night in a row, the Wild had more than plenty of chances to win both games. And for the 2nd night in a row, the Wild lose. For the first time this season, the Wild lose back-to-back games (they have lost consecutive games, not back-to-back) along with losing the 2nd game of the back-to-back (previously 4-0).
