Wild need those calls but not getting them. It's why Dean can't get so upset about the other calls that don't go his team's way. Most important thing is to have Kaprizov protected.18Kirill Kaprizov was just abused by the Panthers in that period. Devils did some of the same things. Wild need those calls but not getting them.

My one main concern is their struggle to get goals even with the number of shots they had.
