The Gillette Wild came home from Great Falls, Montana, with a blowout loss and a close victory after the first two regular season games of the year.
Coach Steve Kruk pinned the 7-1 loss on the goaltenders adapting to a new level of play, a tough environment at Great Falls, and a drop in effort in the last 10 minutes of the game.
