I imagine they think the risk is greater having a D playing out of position than the tiredness of the D...but it's a good question

Trouba with a rough shift there...a couple of turnovers instead of getting the puck out

Started because of a bad back pass along the boards in the offensive zone...gotta watch that

Only 2 shots on net for the Wild through 20 minutes...that's a great way to support your third string guy...but Minnesota gonna amp it up in the secon...

I don't use that as a gauge unless I'm watching another broadcast...Sam's faculties aren't well...

I really like Cuylle...kid does a bit of everything

That's why they pay him a buck fifty per hour instead of the usual dollar

Minnesota throwing their weight around early, but hasn't really amounted to much yet...they'll hope to wear the Rangers down, so something to watch

Nice way to start...Trocheck....and Gustafsson has another point too

I would have preferred they start with the third line than the fourth...but I'm not an NHL coach

That looks good

Apparently Jonathan Quick is now day to day...so could be very interesting tomorrow:

Looks like Shesterkin might be good to go tomorrow
