GAME RECAP
STAR TRIBUNE's THREE STARS
1. Logan Couture, Sharks: Skilled youngster had two goals, giving him 19 this season, along with two assists and six shots.
2. Martin Havlat, Sharks: Former Wild winger scored in each of the first two periods and added an assist.
3. Jason Pominville, Wild: Every offensive chance seemed to center around him (one assist, four-game point streak).
By the numbers
-3 Ryan Suter, Jonas Brodin, Mikko Koivu, Zach Parise and Charlie Coyle were all minus-3.
6 Times in Wild history the team has had no power plays in a game.
