Blue Jackets take a stand, but lose in OT to bigger, stronger Minnesota Wild
Injury to Zach Werenski on unpenalized, ugly hit forces Columbus to play two-plus periods with only five defenseman.ST. PAUL, Minn. – Growth among NHL hockey teams is not something that can easily be tracked within a game or two.
It was filled with moments of growth for the Jackets, who were dealt a stinging 3-2 overtime loss by the Minnesota Wild in a hard-hitting, intense game that included an injury that knocked star defenseman Zach Werenski out of the game in the first period. Minnesota started newly-acquired star goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury for the first time and made sure his 23-save outing ended in victory. The Wild took an early lead 1-0 on a power-play goal by Kirill Kaprizov just 8:34 into the game and leaned on the high-scoring forward again late in the third to force OT.
Elvis Merzlikins made 35 saves in the Columbus net, nearly stealing a victory with numerous key stops, but couldn’t do anything to stop Minnesota’s final push. Kaprizov’s tying goal was shot through a screen that took away the goalie’s vision and Spurgeon beat Merzlikins with a backhand over his sprawling body in OT.
