Josh Harding had an exceptional night in net -- making 47 saves -- but was saddled with the loss as the Minnesota Wild came up short in the shootout against the St. Louis Blues, losing 3-2.
This one can't be blamed on the netminder, as he was the prime reason the Wild even earned a point. Regardless, it was a very nice bounce back outing after giving up four goals on 21 shots Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks. Saturday night, he allowed one goal in a 17-shot first period and one in an 11-shot second and limited the Blues to only one goal on six power-play chances. Harding has received three of the past four starts, and after this outing, there's no reason why he shouldn't get the next one Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
