It was at this moment that the Wild were probably doomed to lose.
Game Highlights:
First Period - Beach attire aside, the Blues and Wild begun the game at -8 degrees. For those of you scoring at home (again, does anyone ever do this?) that’s the coldest it has ever been for a hockey game. The Blues put the pressure on the Wild but couldn’t get any pucks past starter Cam Talbot. That WAS until David Perron broke the 0-0 tie. With around five minutes to go in the period Ryan O’Reilly fired the puck towards the net.
