The Minnesota Wild lose to the Vegas Golden Knights, essentially losing any hope of getting into the playoffs by losing their OT point by pulling their goalie and getting scored on in the process. Jonathan Marchessault with a big goal, I’ve never seen an NHL team lose playoff hopes in this way….

Nah losing two games like that and the second being season ending is WILD
Atleast the Canucks got clinched 🤷🥳
Why didn’t they get a point?? They lost in overtime
From a long-time Preds fan, thanks Vegas for making John Hynes look asinine. Something like that would, of course, only work on the Preds…on the second of a back-to-back, with tired legs, sloppy possession, and a former coach that knows their faults well. As a Preds fan, sometimes I believe I have seen every way to lose…until 💩 like this happens to the Preds…then I'm marvelling over the new addition to my 24 years of fandom as a STH.
There should be zero points rewarded for any loss in overtime; period!
The Minnesota Wild, with 79 points over 73 games, are 8 and 11 respective points behind the Kings and Preds in the Western Conference wildcard race. At most the MN Wild will this season, in regular-season play, earn 97 points. Yes, they’re not yet mathematically eliminated from qualifying for a 2024 playoff spot but are pretty close.
In Pee Wee we tried this, like, 4x to close out the season and lost all four. We dropped from 5th to 8th when the top 4 made the ploffs.
