Links to other WILD games on December 19th:

Bruins VS Wild   -   It is in a way understandable as to how the Bruins lost to the Wild.. Marc-Andre Fleury.

Golden Knights VS Hurricanes   -   Not going to say much about this one.

Blue Jackets VS Sabres   -   VERY eventful game! A hat trick, 9-4 score..
