Several huge saves by Vejmelka during the power play following some really nice O-zone possessions from the Wild.
A cross-ice pass resulted in a wide open one-timer that Vejmelka narrowly stopped with his pad as he moved quickly across the crease.#UtahHC

The Wild play with such pace and urgency.
Currently outshooting Utah 5-0 through the first 7 minutes.
Vejmelka has been tested a lot early on, but he’s responded very well.

Minnesota Wild strike first. Quick rush results in an odd man rush and they cash in.

DYLAN GUENTHER SCORES AND ITS 1-1 IN MINNESOTA.
What a response!#UtahHC

This has become the norm for #UtahHC
Wizardry from Cooley and Guenther finding the back of the net. Huge response from those two in order to tie the game.
Superstars in the making. https://t.co/dY52rIU5ln
