So, one lucky bounce and one deflected pass to a wide open Matt Cooke 10 second apart in the first period was all that separated the battle between the top offensive team and the top defensive teams in the league. In otherwords, a stalemate. Thanks to Marek Zidlicky, yet again, the Wild got out of the Igloo with the 2 points and have to feel good about where the defense stands, surviving the march of the Penguins (see what I did there?). Pittsburgh's high-power offense was kept in check by a solid defensive performance by the Wild, an yet another otherworldy outing by the top goaltender in the NHL in Niklas Backstrom.
