Minnesota Wild vs Los Angeles Kings: Game Re-Cap

For LA perspective, please visit Jewels From The Crown.

With the Wild hanging on through the third period, and the single point secured (thank you , Mr. Quick), the over time period would open things up a bit. Theodore would come up huge on a point blank shot, and the Quick would have his own game saving moment at the other end.

The Wild should be proud they fought through everything, and absolutely ashamed with the way they played through the first three periods. Pluses, minuses. Just another day in the life of the Minnesota Wild. Big two points, big two game winning streak on the road.

Next up... Anaheim. Tomorrow.

Five Questions

Does Peters play, and how does he look? He did play. Complete non-factor. 3:57 TOI. Send him back to Houston.
Can the top line continue their success? Koivu had the nice SH goal, and the line played well all night.
Do the Wild build off their momentum, or let it slip away? Is "both" an acceptable answer? Yuk.
Backstrom looked good against the Coyotes, does that continue? Nope. Didn't play. Theodore looked pretty good though.
Have many terrible movies will be made in Hollywood while this game is being played? At least sixty. "Hollywood's calling for the movie rights, sayin 'Baby, let's keep in touch.'"
