GAME RECAP

STAR TRIBUNE'S THREE STARS

1 Dwayne Roloson, Edmonton: The popular ex-Wild goalie stopped 28 shots, including a glove on Martin Skoula's blast with 10 seconds left, for his third victory in seven meetings since last March's trade.

2. Marian Gaborik, Wild: Assisted on Wes Walz's goal, had three shots and was a constant threat.

3. Jarret Stoll, Edmonton: Had five shots, won 16 of 21 draws and was physical.

BY THE NUMBERS

2-for-40 The Wild's power play in the past seven games.

68 Shots by the Wild if you include missed nets and Oilers blocked shots.

TURNING POINT

Four Wild players were hurt in the first period, including three who didn't return; the injuries made rallying against the Oilers a torturous chore.
