Wild's Third Line Trying to be the X-Factor

The team as a whole had 19 scoring chances to Chicago's 24. It was an even game outside of the score for most of it, but those five extra scoring chances are easily the difference here. However, it is encouraging to see that line be a positive in scoring chances, and weren't terribly out-possessed either. Thomas Vanek having a net positive effect at 5v5, and getting two assists throughout the game is a storyline to follow as the series progresses.
