This edition of the Hidden Game pays tribute to Alex Auld, the last Montreal Canadiens goalie to win in Minnesota back in March 2011. Despite not being a household name, Auld had a respectable record during his brief time with the Canadiens.
The recent game between the Canadiens and Minnesota Wild was lackluster, with Montreal tying a record for the fewest shots in a period this season. Minnesota continues to dominate, boasting a 17-1 record against Montreal in their last 18 encounters.
Filip Gustavsson's stellar performance in goal helped secure a 3-0 victory for the Wild, while the Canadiens struggled offensively, marking their first shutout of the season. Coach Martin St. Louis expressed frustration over missed opportunities and penalties that hindered their performance.
