The Wild took a two-goal lead in the first nine minutes of the game, and it was all they needed to beat the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
Kaprizov's release was so quick that the puck crossed the line before Korpisalo could even fully recognize that Kaprizov was taking the shot himself, rather than passing to Hartman.
"They don’t give up much," Larsen said."They’re a big body team. They’re well-coached. They’re big on the wings. Solid D. Their goaltender’s good. You have to fight for your ice. The way they defend, they’re hard man-on-man too, so if you’re not getting inside and you’re not beating your guys, it’s going to be a long night."In 973 prior NHL games, 23 of them against the Blue Jackets, Minnesota goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury had never recorded a shutout against Columbus.
Fleury is often adventurous outside his crease, and Thursday was no exception, but the Blue Jackets were unable to capitalize on the opportunities presented by a handful of Fleury's gaffes. While the Blue Jackets were on the penalty kill in the first period, Fleury misplayed the puck off the end boards after a clear by Gudbranson, and forward Liam Foudy was there to pounce on the mistake.
"We had our opportunities," Gudbranson said."They made it tough on us to score tonight, for sure. Those first two, that quick, there were little mistakes on that play that obviously we wish didn’t happen. We put a press on and their goaltender stood on his head. Think we could’ve gotten a little bit more traffic to the net and created a bit more from that.
