The Wild were deserving losers on this occasion. Outside of a brief flurry at the beginning of the second period, in which Minnesota scored all three of its goals, the Predators clearly had the better of the chances and territorial play at even strength.

The Wild lose again, but manage to play a quality opponent to a (near) draw on the road. That's no easy task.

As with several other Wild games played thus far, the Wild were outplayed at even strengh (albeit narrowly) yet were able to outchance the opposition by having the better special teams by a large margin. Having more powerplay opportunities than the other team helps in this regard.

This was an interesting game in that there were no scoring chances in the third period. The only event that I considered labeling as such was a shot by Brad Boyes near the end of the period. While the shot was not taken from a dangerous area of the offensive zone, Boyes managed to use the defenceman Shultz as a screen by shooting the puck between Shultz' legs, thus requiring Backstrom to make a somewhat difficult save. After considering all of the relevant factors, I concluded that the shot was not sufficiently dangerous to warrant counting it as a scoring chance.

The Blues were clearly in shutdown mode and played excellent defensive hockey for the entire period. Particularly impressive was the Blues checking line of Perron-McClement-Crombeen, which Murray had matched up against the Wild's top line of Havlat-Koivu-Brunette. The latter trio was the only Wild forward grouping that was outplayed at EV.

Unfortunately, this was a pay-per-view game for anyone living in the Prairie Provinces. As I failed to order the game, I was not able to watch it and record scoring chances.

Fortunately, Dennis King, who posts at mc79hockey.com and has been recording scoring chances for all Oiler games this season, did manage to score the game.

In terms of chances for and against, this was Minnesota's worst game to date. Upon considering the circumstances, however, the poor performance is somewhat understandable.

After all, the team was:

1. Playing the second half of a back-to-back on the road.

2. Playing against a team that has, thus far, been quite good at outchancing/outshooting the opposition.

3. Missing several key regulars from the lineup.
