Game Thread: Jets @ Wild 11/17

[IndyAndy]

Central Division rivals square off for the first of two meetings this week: The team that I follow now vs. the team that used to be the team that I followed when I first started following NHL hockey.

 

[IndyAndy]

Sixteen minutes in & Winnipeg only has one shot on goal.

 

[IndyAndy]

Koivu!!

Jets aren't showing much urgency in clearing the puck out of their end of the ice, & it burns them.

1-0 Minny after the 1st.

Jets are finally starting to put in some decent offensive zone time.

Blake Wheeler got tangled up with Spurgeon & went hard into the corner boards: He left under his own power - but went strait to the locker room. Hope that he's okay.

 

[IndyAndy]

Still 1-0 after the 2nd.

Wheeler is back in the game.

 

[IndyAndy]

Bryan Little evens the game up in the opening minute of the 3rd.

*****
Now the goal gets credited to Byfuglien.

 

[IndyAndy]

Koivu!!

Now if Minny can just hold on for a bit less than three minutes...

 

[IndyAndy]

The Wild hold on to win, 2-1.

Things are coming together quite well. Tonight's game should be entertaining too

True that. Harding has been stellar. Last few games the goal scoring has been inconsistent again but these next two days are a nice test.

Wild have played far more games at home than away so far. This back to back in Canada is big.

Damn, its not so entertaining. Has it been a penalty kill the entire game? Did they forget their skates cause the habs are skating circles around us

YEAH!!!! Tied for first in the division. Good to see some scoring form the secondary players
