And Bellows is the 8 who's really a 3 when the lights come up at 4AM.

That’s why you always keep them in the dark.

Nice start to this game. Boys are on their toes. No luck on a lot of close chances.

Need some puck luck!

Actually we do because that’s some bad luck there.

Looked like Varlamov had an opportunity to cover that puck, no?

They deserved a lot better than being down 1 - 0

Regardless, puck squeaked through Dubnyk 2 times. Just have to keep playing your game and do the right things and thing will turn around.

Well, they controlled play and spent most of the period in their offensive zone, so it's surprising that Minnesota outshot them 12 - 10.

Yeah it’s in Mn so shot clock will skew their way

That said really The Wild had a couple flurries but the Islanders our possessed The Wild. Teams in a funk where nothing goes in for them and everything goes in against them.

Gotta fight through it.

Agreed, and they also need to find a way to get more shots on goal and not just cycle the puck when they're in the o-zone.

100% JS, need to make the simple play to the net and not the fancy pass which they did a couple times in that 1st period. When your in a funk and shats not going your way you need to keep it simple. Throw the puck at the net every opportunity you get.

Barzal needs to be smarter

Pelech tying up the Wild player nicely and get the stick to the mug for it. No call.

Overall a better period for the Isles. They are now outshooting the Wild 20 - 17. Need someone to solve Dubnyk.

Yes Sir.

Just get everything towards or to the net.

Really playing well just need to keep it up and get out of this funk. It’s gonna take an ugly lucky goal and things will turn around. Typically does.

First thing, they need to kill this penalty.

Brassard?

There’s the lucky one. Pulock with the 105 mph shot

I don't know if he ever touched the puck. Maybe Lee? Whatever it's tied up!

They changed it to Pulock, aka 105 mph.
