Takeaways: Logan Cooley enjoys return to Minnesota, Wild not so much as Mammoth roll to 6-2 victory

The Wild’s inconsistency hurt them again.

Yes, they were better after falling behind 3-0, but that still didn’t make up for their early lapses. Before their comeback attempt, the Wild were out of sorts: They had blatant giveaways, put themselves off-side, and their passing was off.

They reset to put the pressure on the Mammoth, and they had enough momentum to complete the comeback.

That they didn’t, though, shows that their execution isn’t strong enough to be in control for only stretches of the game and come away successful.

“It’s frustrating because we’re trying so hard,” Johansson said. “I almost feel like we’re trying too hard at times, where we want it so bad and one little mistake costs us. It’s frustrating, but we’ve got to do better.”

No rest for the reeling: The Wild’s six-game homestand continues Sunday at home against San Jose, which won its first game of the season Thursday vs. the New York Rangers.
