An enjoyable result but funky process.
That's how Wild coach Dean Evason reflected on the 6-5 come-from-behind thriller the Wild orchestrated Monday night at Xcel Energy Center, stunning the Golden Knights with two goals in 26 seconds in the final minutes of the third period to snatch away victory.
In the rematch on Wednesday, Evason would like to see a tighter showing from the Wild.
"I know we do not want to get into a track meet, back and forth," he said "That's not the way we play the game. We've got some correcting and have done some correcting. Hopefully, we can play a more sound hockey game.
"I'm not saying dumping it in and dumping it out and not playing with skill and trying to score and trying to make plays going up the ice. You don't want to keep turning pucks over and having odd-man rushes coming at us. So, we'll make some corrections and hopefully get it done here tonight."
Cam Talbot will be back in net for the Wild after helping the Wild prevail on Monday with 27 saves, including 11 in a scoreless third period for Vegas.
"Going into that third period, we were just like he's shutting the door for us," Evason said.
Evason said the Wild is likely to have a couple game-time decisions, indicating some may be banged up.
