Now, the pressure is on the Wild to tie the series before it heads to St. Louis for a pair of games. Minnesota got solid goaltending from Devan Dubnyk, and they’ll need their starter to continue to build confidence while they work on solving Allen.
While the goaltenders stole the show in Game 1, the offenses showed signs of warming. Vladimir Tarasenko had the primary assist on the overtime winner, while Zach Parise scored the game-tying goal with 23 seconds to go in the third period.
Still, it’s Jake Allen’s show. Let’s see if the Wild can steal it back from him.
