Last night the VGK were missing $18.3 million worth of crucial players to their lineup and it showed in their 2-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild. Mark Stone and Alex Pietrangelo who were injured in Saturdayâs game in San Jose did not play, even though Pete DeBoer claimed that Stoneâs not returning to the game in San Jose was based on the score of the game and their upcoming schedule. I did write in my last post that this might be a fabrication, as this organization is very tight-lipped when it comes to injuries. Minnesota has not been kind to the VGK in the past; coming into last nightâs game, they had 1 victory in 5 games at the Xcel Energy Center. In those 4 losses, they managed just 6 goals. Last night they were shut out by Kappo Kahkonen, who extended his winning streak to 7 games compliments of the non-existing offensive of the VGK. The VGK power play was 0-3, with zero shots on goal in their first 2. They did manage 4 shots on the final power play, but to no avail. Stone and Pietrangelo were deeply missed, not only in the game but especially on the power play.
