5:4 Wild win, probably, in OT.

[wildstars95]

don't see why the wild can't knock the oilers off keel 5-3

 

[Jimtown guy]

They continue to roll from the beat down they gave the Kings. Wild match those 6 goals and win 6-4 with an empty netter 

[Icechipper]

My brother as well as my nephew and brother seats for this one.

 

4-3 ot Wild

Figure Connie Mac may net 2 so I'll go 4-3 Wild Win in Regulation. 

[ClusterChuck]

I'm guessing to retain 2nd place and Home Ice, The Wild if they split the 2 games vs Blues will have to win 7 of the 11 and maybe a point or 2 in the 4 losses.

Let's show the leaky Oil that there is a price to be paid for no D.  Duncan Keith sure looks like a shadow of his best years with that assist to PUdreau for the G

Thought they were going to call him for interference on that light push.

The refs are doing their usual bang-up job. They should have called Bouchard for diving and Kaprizov for holding on the PP.

Keith knows what to do, but like all athletes, is being betrayed by the aging process. The days of him being a plus skater are gone, so the game sometimes gets quick for him now.
