GAME RECAP

STAR TRIBUNE'S THREE STARS

1. Mikko Koivu, Wild: Shorthanded goal, power-play goal to force OT, shootout goal, 13 of 19 on faceoffs, four shots. Yeah, pretty good game by the captain.

2. Jaroslav Halak, Blues: Only reason why the Wild didn't rally sooner.

3. Justin Falk, Wild: Played almost 27 minutes and helped create Koivu's shortie.

BY THE NUMBERS

9 Shorthanded goals by Koivu, four off Wes Walz's team record.

12-3-2 The Wild's record vs. the West.
