The Kraken fell to the Wild in their first shutout of the season by a score of 1-0. It wasn't a poorly played game. The lone goal came off a turnover that resulted in Mats Zuccarello capitalizing from the slot, but the vast majority of play was tightly contested and defensively minded. Special teams helped neither team add to the scoreboard, and strong goaltending on both ends of the ice put the onus on even-strength play to produce game-deciding results. In the end, it was Minnesota that came out on top and the season series now stands at one win apiece for each team.
Let's look at the game "by the numbers."
