Goaltending, defense, offense, it all came together for the Wild in their game against the Kings. Alexander Minion in the net definitely deserved being named the third star of the game after making 24 saves on 25 shots. The defense played solid two periods - only allowing 22 shots combined - before absolutely suffocating any resemblance of offense in the Kings' side, allowing just three shots in the final period. After scoring two goals in the first period and a scoreless second, Mats Zuccarello and Olli McGee led the charge, both scoring 3 points (1+2, 2+1 respectively) to put the game far from reach.

Game 180 Review
The Hounds haven't been real competitive this season, and the game starts the way you'd expect. Ottawa scoring almost immediately on the lackluster defense. Some poor defensive plays lead to them having the puck again, and Ottawa reigns in another basket with quickness. There is no stopping the Lynx as John Richards, Bel Monito, and Cash score. The second period is no different than the first. The Ottawa score two quick goals bringing the score up to 5-0. The hounds can't do anything to stop them, and they even get a third score in real quick. 6-0. The hounds are lifeless out there! This is middle of the second, and will be the last action for the game. Final score 8-0. The third period was just the puck being passed between teams, and penalties as players air their frustration out on the field.
