The Minnesota Wild and Vancouver Canucks square off in a pivotal Game 3 with their Stanley Cup Playoffs series tied at one game apiece.
The Minnesota Wild and Vancouver Canucks have split the first two games of their Stanley Cup Playoffs play-in round series. Thursday’s Game 3 should prove pivotal, as the winner will be merely one game away from advancing in the best-of-five games series.
Both teams have looked very dominant at points during this series. It should be fascinating to see how Game 3 plays out. The Wild shutout the Canucks 3-0 in the first game, but Vancouver won 4-3 in Game 2.

PREVIEW
MINNESOTA WILD
In Game 2, the Wild allowed three unanswered goals, which led to the 4-3 loss. Two goals in the last five minutes made the score look closer than it actually was. Minnesota will likely turn to Alex Stalock in Game 3, though that hasn’t been confirmed yet.
VANCOUVER CANUCKS
After being shutout in Game 1, the Canucks came into Game 2 with a mission. Tanner Pearson scored just 24 seconds into the game and they also got goals from Brock Boeser, Bo Horvat, and J.T. Miller. Jacob Markstrom will be getting the start in goal for the Canucks.
