D*MN!  Chances, chances, chances.....Kap line needs to tally a few in this game

[Alexandron]

Nice chance for Kaprizov to score.

[EmptyShelf]

Sturm with Boldy and Fiala full-time would be a 'breath of fresh air' versus PU (No put intended)

[ClusterChuck]

Got our game going now.

[bbgarnett]

Damn what a save 

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Minnesota is gonna have to score soon...MAF doesn't look particularly sharp.
They need to jump him before he settles into his groove.

[ClusterChuck]

Huge save by Talbot.

1 bad bounce and we'll get in his head again.

[Alexandron]

Very speedy game so far from both sides and good saves from both goalies as well.  I like it a lot. Time of that period was  flying for me like in seconds. Wow. Shots in the 1st period our 13 vs their 8.

I am not sure if we will see a lot goals during this game. Both goalies are good so far.

[ClusterChuck]

Not really any defensive blunders other than leaving that Chicago player open at the side of the net early.
Hmmm 

[bbgarnett]

Puedreu!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ClusterChuck]

Freddie

[Alexandron]

Gaudreau!!!! PP goal!

[EmptyShelf]

PU with a goal?  On TNT, they said PU is 'red hot?!!?'  On what planet is that, and with what results?!??  He has literally been the COLDEST player in the league ALL year

[ClusterChuck]

Fiala ties Granny's streak. 

[bbgarnett]

Zuchinni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EmptyShelf]

ZUUUUUUUUCCCC

Good on Gaudreau to simply shoot on Fleury who didn't look quite set, but, I think he should thank Jordan Greenway too for providing a 6'5 screen, distracting MAF long enough for Freddie to wire that one in.

[ClusterChuck]

Zucc !!

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Like I said...gotta jump MAF early and often before he settles in.

Wild look like they got the memo.

[Alexandron]

ZUCCARELLO!!!!!!!! From a fantastic Greenway's assist!

[TropicalFruitGirl26]

Wild have firm control of this game...hope they don't start getting cute in their own zone and give it back.
They need to keep playing like this game is still scoreless!

He scores just often enough to stay in the lineup. Good luck convincing the coaches to switch him out currently.

[ClusterChuck]

Ooops
