Minnesota Wild vs Montreal Canadiens: Game Re-Cap

This will be rather short, as I, again, did not see the game. The StarTrib had a man in Montreal that did a fairly decent job, so make sure you check that out. We'll discuss it more in the Walk in the morning, but the re-cap is pretty good.

For now, we'll just jump to a few note worthy things from the stats page:

- The Wild had five shots on goal through two periods, including just one in the second. They finished with just 14.

Hockey Wilderness Three Stars:

None. Not even going to venture a guess.

Five Questions:

1. With most of the regulars out of the lineup for the third game in three nights, can the Wild actually win a game this preseason? Nope. As the article in the Trib reports, Todd Richards did not believe the score accurately reported the game. From the stats, I would agree.

3. How does the goaltending tandem slated to start in Houston look against the Habs? Sounds to me like the defense once again let down the goalies. Hackett did not play, as the Wild looked to give Khudobin a chance to show his stuff.

Bonus:

6. If Pouliot plays, does he float out of the building? Pouliot did not play. Poor kid.
