Wild win despite 11 shot effort.
Nicklas Backstrom
The Wild has pulled off a victory despite an 11 shot effect by the offense, and giving up 4 powerplays. The Wild were outshot 21-11 but still won 3-1 against the Lightning. The Lightning started the game hot, scoring the games first goal. Soon after, Andrew Brunette got his second goal of the year to tie the game. Brian Rolston got his first, with an own-goal mistake by Tampa. Backstrom stole the show after that, stopping all offensive efforts by a strong Lighning Offense. After the game, Wild Head Coach had this comments, "Stunning, our team came out flat and undisciplined.... severly outplayed, we are lucky to come into here and crawl away with the 2 pts."
Lucky indeed coach.
