In a game where many anticipated Minnesota would take all three points but the opponent proved harder than expected. The Loons had the lion’s share of the shots but San Jose fought back and leveled it at 2 a piece in the 82’.
The anticipation of some late drama that would propel the Loons to another home victory didn’t come to fruition. However, Minnesota continues their unbeaten streak to 7 games as they head out to Colorado on Wednesday to take on the Rapids.
Take a look back over the moments that transpired over the holiday weekend as our staff photographer’s share their perspectives of the game.
