Game 1 Recap: Poor special teams earn Minnesota Wild loss in ... (Hockey Wilderness)

Also, Ville Husso and David Perron, they also maybe had something to do with that loss.

Fiala had a great opportunity near the end of the first, Kaprizov had a few on power plays, but Husso was an absolute brick wall. The second was okay, the Wild generated a lot of shots, something’s gotta break at some point. I don’t like seeing cheap shots like this period but certainly not from the Captain of the team. Wowza. This may get the league’s attention. They each got sent to the box, Foligno for 4 minutes, 2 for Mikkola. Hartman got a breakaway about a minute later and was denied again by Husso. Y’all. Two minutes later, Perron got a minor for holding and the Wild went on their fourth power play of the game. Husso made some god damned heroic saves in the second, absolutely ridiculous. (Did he read my notes from the first?) At this point, I remembered fondly how I confidently said that the Wild’s history against the Blues wouldn’t matter in the playoffs. They still didn’t manage to capitalize, but it felt like there were some looks, just solid blocking from the Blues. And what feels like seconds later, Nic Deslauriers drew a holding minor from Robert Bortuzzo. They remained unable to capitalize on their power plays.

There's moments in the game that are momentum shifts and they jumped on them and we had a chance to do it and we didn't do it. We'll stay the heck out of the box and we'll play 5 on 5 and we'll give ourselves a better chance." Still, the Wild liked some of its chances, even if it wasn't able to cash in. The Wild did its best to follow that blueprint, at least through 40 minutes, putting the Blues on just two power plays through two periods. Perron scored on the Blues' first power play. "For us to have success we've got to stay out of the box and we've got to play 5 on 5 because we really, really liked our game 5 on 5. "There's just big moments in the game and they capitalized on them and we didn't. That's playoff hockey. And he's a good player, he put them in." "Honestly, it just came right to him," Fiala said. But we have to let it go now, it's Game 1 and it's playoff hockey. "He's a good shooter. We hit the bar, I don't know how many times today, it can go the other way and it looks differently.

ST. PAUL, MN (AP) - David Perron was quarantined in his basement last year, listening to his kids run around u...

Husso was picked over Jordan Binnington, who backstopped the Blues all the way to the Stanley Cup title as a rookie in 2019. Fleury started strong with a pad save on a penalty shot by Ivan Barbashev, but Perron put the Blues on the board less than three minutes later. That was the greatest source of frustration for the Wild on a night marked by up-close misfires and clanged posts. The Wild were insistent there was no bad decision to make and that both goalies would be needed throughout the postseason, but if they don’t get their special teams on track this might be a short run. Fleury, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner and three-time Stanley Cup champion, was acquired in a trade with Chicago on March 21. Particularly on the power play, having led the league with a 29.4% scoring rate in 41 road games this season.
