There will be comprehensive coverage, photos, videos of today's 6-1 Wild win over the Blackhawks at TCF Bank Stadium over at startribune.com/wild, so I'm just going to toss a blog up here with facts, tidbits and stats from today's big win.

The Wild has the day off Monday, so I'll do a follow with leftovers and advance the home game against the Islanders in Tuesday's paper. I'll also be in studio with Paul Allen at 9 a.m. Monday and on Tuesday, I'll be solo hosting the Russo-Souhan Show at Tom Reid's Hockey City Pub at 4 p.m. before the game, so please stop on by.

A couple special guests that will make for a very fun show.

As for today, Jason Pominville continued his great play of late with a goal and two assists, Erik Haula scored a career-high three points with his fourth multi-point game in the past seven, Nino Niederreiter had a goal and assist, Ryan Carter had a goal and assist and game-high six shots, Matt Dumba scored another goal, Thomas Vanek scored a game-winning goal for the second consecutive game, Ryan Suter and Jared Spurgeon were each +3 and Devan Dubnyk made 31 saves as the Wild improved to 4-0 under John Torchetti.

The Wild has scored 21 goals under Torchetti in those four games. Thirteen different ones have scored those 21 goals, and six different ones today.

Here's some cut-and-paste from both the Wild and NHL on today's game:

FROM THE WILD
The game marked the first time the Wild participated in a regular-season outdoor NHL game and marked the NHL's 17th overall outdoor game. TCF Bank Stadium became the third football stadium to host a Stadium Series game, joining Soldier Field (2014) and Levi's Stadium (2015). It joins Michigan Stadium (2014 Winter Classic) as the only NHL outdoor games played on a university campus.

2016 COORS LIGHT NHL STADIUM SERIES
MINNESOTA WILD 6, CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS 1
TCF BANK STADIUM, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. – FEB. 21, 2016


LOCAL PRODUCTS POWER WILD IN 2016 COORS LIGHT NHL STADIUM SERIES . . .

University of Minnesota alumnus Erik Haula (2010-13) posted 1-2—3 and earned 'First Star' honors to lift the Wild over the Blackhawks in the 2016 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Haula, a seventh-round selection (182nd overall) in the 2009 NHL Draft, registered his first career three-point game (171 GP). He notched his fourth multi-point effort in his last seven outings (3-6—9) after totaling five such performances in his first 164 career appearances. Haula also equaled a career high with his seventh goal of the season (53 GP), a number first reached in 2014-15 (72 GP).

Several other local products aided in the Wild's victory:

* White Bear Lake, Minn., native Ryan Carter recorded 1-1—2, his 10th career multi-point game and first since Nov. 13, 2014 vs. BUF (1-1—2).

* University of Minnesota alumnus Thomas Vanek (2002-04) scored his 17th goal of the season and first in three career regular-season outdoor NHL game appearances (also 2008 WC w/ BUF and 2014 SS-NY w/ NYI).

* University of Minnesota alumnus Mike Reilly (2012-15) and University of Minnesota-Duluth alumnus Justin Fontaine (2007-11) both collected one assist.

. . . HAULA, POMINVILLE EQUAL OUTDOOR GAME RECORD

Wild teammates Erik Haula and Jason Pominville both notched 1-2—3 to equal the record for points in a regular-season outdoor NHL game. That has been achieved by seven other players, most recently Chicago's Jonathan Toews in the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series at Soldier Field (2-1—3).

Pominville posted his 32nd career three-point game and first since Jan. 15, 2015 at BUF (0-3—3).

WILD CONTINUE FLAWLESS START, OFFENSIVE SURGE UNDER TORCHETTI

The Wild improved to 4-0-0 under interim head coach John Torchetti following a stretch in which they lost 13 of 14 games (1-11-2), including eight straight (0-6-2). The team has scored five or more goals – all in regulation – in each of its four outings under Torchetti's direction, a first in franchise history.

At 27-22-10 (64 points), the Wild climbed within one point of the idle Predators (27-21-11, 65 points) for the final playoff berth in the Western Conference. Minnesota improved to 35-22-3 in its 60 all-time regular-season games against Chicago (24-27-9), including five straight wins dating to Feb. 3, 2015 (3-0-0 in 2015-16).

HOME TEAM EARNS RARE OUTDOOR GAME VICTORY

The Wild became just the fifth home team to win a regular-season outdoor NHL game (17 GP: 5-10-2). The others: the Bruins in the 2010 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at Fenway Park (2-1 OT W vs. PHI), the Flames in the 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at McMahon Stadium (4-0 W vs. MTL), the Blackhawks in the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series at Soldier Field (5-1 W vs. PIT) and the Capitals in the 2015 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at Nationals Park (3-2 W vs. CHI).

STADIUM SERIES QUICK HITS

* Twenty-five players appeared in their first regular-season outdoor NHL game (not including Minnesota's Darcy Kuemper, who dressed but did not play) – 15 on the Wild, 10 on the Blackhawks.

* The Wild became the 20th team to participate in a regular-season outdoor NHL game. The Blackhawks competed in their fourth regular-season outdoor NHL game, the most of any club (1-3-0). They also played in the 2009 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field in Chicago (6-4 L vs. DET), the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series at Soldier Field in Chicago (5-1 W vs. PIT) and the 2015 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. (3-2 L at WSH).

* Four Blackhawks players have appeared in all four of the team's regular-season outdoor NHL games: Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook and Jonathan Toews. Wild forward Jarret Stoll also played in his fourth regular-season outdoor NHL game (also 2003 HC w/ EDM, 2014 SS-LA w/ LAK and 2015 SS w/ LAK). Their four such appearances are tied for the most in League history.

* Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews collected one assist to extend his record for points in regular-season outdoor NHL games (2-4—6 GP). His four assists in those contests also are tied for the most all-time, with teammate Marian Hossa (3 GP) and Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg (2 GP).
