Game Thread: Wild @ Coyotes 3/29

[IndyAndy]

Are we swapping Wild Card seeds tonight? - Let hope not!

It's time to stop the recent skid.

The Wild get caught with seven players on the ice, then Mikkel Boedker make them pay for it.

1-0 Phoenix

We're having a tough time getting a decent entry into the Coyotes' end of the ice so far.

Things are getting chippy out there: Hanzel & Suter get box time for an altercation.

Over half-way through the 2nd. The Wild still can't get much going in the center of the Coyotes' end: All of their shots are coming from just off of the boards at severe angles.

Still 1-0 after 2 periods: If not for Bryz, it would probably be 3-0.

Parise!!

Off of a face-off in the Coyotes' end.

... And that JUST BARELY caught the inside edge of the post.

Spurgeon!!

The Wild are feeling it now...

Parise!!

An open-netter in the last minute seals it for the Wild.

And lost in their lack of offense through the first 40 minutes was the fact that they held the Coyotes to no shots on goal for 23 minutes starting about half-way through the 2nd.
