Obviously, we're going to need to figure out a way to stop Keith Carney. After 0 goals in his first 60 games this year against the rest of the NHL, Carney has exploded for 2 in the last 3 games. Forget Gaborik - we need to send Adam Foote out against this sniper.
Seriously, great game despite the loss. As I've mentioned before, the team that gets to 3 goals is the team that's going to win. Tonight, thanks to a lucky bounce off the skate of Ruslan Salei, the Wild were that team. And now we go to Denver...
Barring anything unexpected, I'll have a recap up tomorrow. For now, I'll mention that David Jones limped off early in the 2nd period and did not return. For the Wild, Branko Radivojevic hurt his right leg early in the game. He eventually returned, but was slow to get off the ice late in the game.
