GAME RECAP

STAR TRIBUNE'S THREE STARS

1 Marian Gaborik, Wild: Tallied the NHL's first five-goal game in 11 years, the first in Wild history and his second career six-point night.

2 Brent Burns, Wild: His demolishing hit on Petr Prucha in the second period set the tone.

3 Pavol Demitra, Wild: Two assists and showed the type of chemistry with Gaborik he showed last season.

BY THE NUMBERS

9 of 13 Hat tricks in Wild history by Gaborik.

20 Victories in 34 games for the Wild, fastest in team history.
