Game 12 Recap:
I'm trying to think of the worst possible losses a team could have in October and honestly this feels like it's right up there. https://t.co/fWCrUmgssc

Assuming the Wild only quit playing hockey for that 1 period last night and not forever... Their road trip continues tonight as they face the defending Cup champion Blues.
The Blues (6-3-3) are winning half their games and losing half of their losses in overtime or the shootout, so they've racked up some points.
It's kind of odd that the Wild haven't had an overtime game yet. I'm calling it to happen tonight.
Here's a fun game -- look at the NHL leaderboard and calculate how many Wild players you'd have to add together to lead the league in offensive categories....
| Points Leader | Points | Wild Players |
| Pastrnak | 24 | Staal (8) Zucker (7) Hunt (7) Zuccarello (2) |
| Goals Leader | Goals | Wild Players |
| Pastrnak | 12 | Staal (4) Zucker (4) Hunt (4) Zuccarello (0) |
| Assists Leader | Assists | Wild Players |
| McDavid | 16 | Dumba (5) Greenway (5) Staal (4) Zuccarello (2) |
Yeah - offense is not a strong point.
This game is on NBCSN, if you don't have anything else to watch tonight...
Tarasenko out for 5 months for the Blues. That sucks, he's always been a player I liked, even as he shredded the Wild.
Dubnyk back in net.
Zuccarello scores his first. Tied 1-1.
Never underestimate the power of the Whangdoodle.
Wild lose the 3rd period again.
35 shots - 1 goal.
Offense is not a strong point.
