Minnesota lost to Vegas 1-2 in overtime, which was decided by Jonathan Marchessault. He scored the game-winning goal into an empty Wild net as coach John Hynes called off the goalie again in extra time. Minnesota needs points, and Hynes took a chance, but it didn’t work out this time. Based on league rules, if a team concedes in a game without a goalkeeper in extra time, it will also lose a point for a draw after 60 minutes. The Wild came up empty.

“We needed two points to still have a chance to advance to the playoffs. I think sending Kaprizov, Zuccarello, Eriksson Eko and Boldy on the ice against three opposing players gives you a great chance to win. Now it didn’t work out.” said Hynes, who has already succeeded with a similar maneuver once this season.
