New York TimesSure, we can all second-guess John Hynes’ bold, desperate decision to pull the goalie in overtime for the second time in three weeks. “That’s another step of growth for our team is when the game is in the balance with a one-goal lead in those situations, just the importance of the discipline and details.” GO DEEPER Wild’s OT goalie pull backfires, Foligno done for season: Key takeaways vs. Golden Knights A case in point was the Golden Knights’ tying goal in the third period. … You put that puck on Mats Zuccarello’s stick five times, I bet you you score on four.” The big difference this time against Vegas and the Predators game is the element of surprise. Still, despite the heads up, Marchessault, normally a non-penalty killer, never envisioned he’d score his 40th goal on his seventh shot of the game “on PK in four-on-three in overtime.” As glum as the Wild locker room was after the game, nobody was second-guessing Hynes’ decision. Unfortunately, we didn’t come out on top this time.” But the only reason why there was another “this time” is that the Wild lacked maturity in their game all season.
