Wallstedt Gets The Ball - Or The Puck - In Elimination Time

Jesper Wallstedt is getting the start in an elimination game, which is the kind of assignment that tells you exactly how much trust a team is willing to place in a young goalie. The margins are gone now, and every rebound, every whistle, and every body language cue gets magnified. For Minnesota, this is the sort of decision that can either steady the room or turn the heat up fast.
