Jesper Wallstedt answered every question Saturday night. Back in the crease after being pulled for Game two, the Wild's young netminder stopped thirty-four shots as Minnesota handled Colorado four to one, finally getting in the win column in this Western Conference semifinal series. The Avalanche had answers for everything in the first two games — they had none for Wallstedt.
Meanwhile in Los Angeles, the Lakers are staring down the abyss. Down three games to none against Oklahoma City, LeBron James and head coach JJ Redick are both publicly refusing to fold, insisting this team still has a comeback in it. No team in NBA playoff history has ever reversed a three-nothing deficit, but apparently nobody told the Lakers locker room that.
And shifting to the pitch, the New England Revolution are writing something special at Gillette Stadium. After going down one-nothing to Philadelphia on an own goal, Carles Gil stepped up with two late goals to seal a two-to-one comeback win, pushing New England's unbeaten home run to seven matches — the best start in club history.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
