Wild make a huge change for Game 2 tonight

This just in, Minnesota Wild head coach John Hynes is making a change in goal for Game 2 against the Colorado Avalanche this evening.

I mean... after allowing 8 goals, who can blame him?

Hynes is dumping Game 1's starter Jesper Wallstedt and going with Filip Gustavsson for Game 2.

Like I said, Wallstedt allowed 8 goals in Game 1 against the Avs in a crazy game that saw the Avs win 9-6. Gustavsson hasn't played a game in three weeks, but the decision had to be made said Hynes.

“Every time you make a decision, you take a lot of things into account,” Hynes said after today's morning skate. “We’ve had two very good goalies all year long and ‘Gus’ has played a lot of good hockey for us.

“‘Wally’ (Wallstedt) has taken the brunt of the playoffs; he’s played seven straight games played very well. Quick turnaround at the end of the (first) series to come to Colorado.”
