from Michael Russo of the StarTribune,
This could be long series for the Wild.
And by that, I mean, literally, a short series.
The Wild wasn’t remotely close to up to par tonight during an easy 4-0 series-opening win by the Dallas Stars.
The Wild gave Dallas six power play, registered no shots in the first 11:21, a franchise-playoff low two shots for a period in the first period and got nothing from its best offensive players that aren’t injured.
Mikko Koivu and Jason Zucker had one shot each, Charlie Coyle none. That was the Wild’s first line, one that likely won’t be together in Game 2, coach John Torchetti indicated.
Torchetti noted that Chris Porter was the Wild’s best forward, which, with all due respect to Porter, is a big problem.
Game highlights are below...
