History tells us that the Wild had lots to fear going in tonight’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. It would tell us the chances tonight, of Minnesota pulling out a victory were somewhere in the realm of slim to none with a leaning towards the latter. On a night where the Blue Jackets honored one of their originals, David Vyborny (who is out of the lineup with a hip injury) for playing 500 games for Ohio’s capitol city, it did not seem very optimistic for the State of Hockey tonight. As the Wild had just one win against the Blue Jackets when playing them at their home, Nationwide Arena. That win came all the way back in 2002! Would that tradition continue tonight?
The Wild were skating with much more gusto than the had the previous night against the Detroit Red Wings. While the Wild had more purpose in their skating, it was mainly represented by Minnesota playing a very tight checking, defensively responsible game. Under the guidance of Columbus Head Coach Ken Hitchcock, the Blue Jackets were more than happy to play that passive neutral zone trap as well. The Wild would demonstrate great patience, but that should not be confused with the team playing in a laid back manner, as Minnesota was winning many of the races to the loose pucks early. The Wild would get the critical first goal just past the halfway point of the period when Marian Gaborik would give a nice pass up to Pavol Demitra who would deliver a great cross-ice pass towards the crease where Aaron Voros tap in a shot by Pascal Leclaire to give Minnesota a huge 1-0 lead. Some Wild fans questioned whether it was good keeping Voros on the top line with Gaborik and Demitra, but it is undeniable how his hard work creates chances, as well as his play along the boards seems to mesh well with two Slovaks. The goal lifted a big weight off the Wild’s shoulders, as it had to have felt some pressure after their inability to score against Detroit Friday night and Minnesota skated confidently into the 2nd carrying a 1-0 lead.
