Sunday update: With Christian Folin out and the team leaving for Vancouver on Monday to start a four-game trip, defenseman Gustav Olofsson was recalled.
This was the ultimate glass half full, glass half empty game.
You could be pleased the Wild, on a second of a back-to-back, mustered up the legs to get the game-tying goal by Charlie Coyle with an extra attacker with 1:08 left when it could have just quit after seeing its 2-1 lead disintegrate into a 3-2 deficit in just 63 seconds early in the third period.
Or you can be discouraged that the Wild didn't get the two points after carrying that lead into the third and then not pulling the extra point out of an overtime in which Jake Allen made four saves or a shootout in which the Wild went 0 for 4 and only made Allen make one save.
As the Wild opened a five-game trip with a 4-3 shootout loss Saturday in St. Louis, it chose to take the positives. Yes, it failed to extend its win streak to three for the first time since Oct. 25-29, but it extended its point streak to four games (2-0-2) by taking six out of eight points this week.
Remember, one reason Bruce Boudreau believes he has limited long losing streaks in his coaching career is he has a "win the week" philosophy.
It now will take Sunday off, head to Vancouver on Monday for practice and continue its trip against the Canuckleheads Tuesday.
I am sick and tired (I caught the giant head cold crawling through the locker room), so I'm going to make this quick.
