I just don't even know what to say, but this inconsistency is the downfall of a young team. This team is NOT young. They should be beyond this.
Hockey Wilderness Three Stars
Questions to Answer
Will the Wild avenge a bad loss in December at Staples Center? No.
Can the Wild stop Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar? No. Those two had their way in the zone all night long.
Do the defensemen continue playing well in the offensive zone? They did. Too bad there are seemingly no forwards who want to crash the net.
Does Brunette feel ill effects from last night's performance after suffering the injury last Saturday? He had 1 assist on 19:21 TOI, and the Kings took it to him all night long. Another decent game for Bruno.
Do the Wild once again fall victim to the "play to the level of the opposition" mentality they have so often played this year? Yes. Yes. Yes. They beat San Jose. Beat Boston. Beat Chicago then lose to the freaking Kings? Seriously? My god.
Notes
Zidlicky scored his 9th power play goal of the season. That goal gives him the team record for power play goals by a defenseman in a single season.
