Wild gamble backfires!

Description
Jonathan Marchessault potted his 40th goal of the season on an empty netter in overtime Saturday, as VGK defeated the Minnesota Wild 2-1. The win wrapped up a successful road trip in which the Golden Knights took home seven of eight points. For a second time in three weeks, the Wild pulled its goalie in overtime to add an extra attacker. The first time, on March 10, it worked against Nashville. On Saturday, the tactic failed and pretty much knocked the Wild out of playoff contention, because they didn't even get a point out of the OT loss. Jack Eichel received a game misconduct for spearing the Wild's Kirill Kaprizov in retaliation to a trip that wasn't called. Michael Amadio of VGK knotted the score at 1-1 with over 6-minutes remaining to force OT. We also talk about the current goaltending situation as Adin Hill could return to the lineup this week. And Tomas Hertl could see his first action in a Golden Knights uniform as well over the next 2-3 games. Plus, we talk about Bruce Cassidy making all the right moves.
