Middleton on hit on Duchene: "It's a tough position because I know he doesn't see me and I'm still trying to take the body on him. I know he didn't come back to the game. I hope he's OK. There was no ill intent towards the hit. It was just kind of a perfect storm really the way it transpired."

2-0 Stars after 1. 13-11 Wild on shots. 1:38 left of Dallas PP time carries over with Hartman in the box.

#mnwild 2nd line continues to be a problem. One goal against after soft play by both wings, another shift that ends with a penalty that lead to a goal
