GAME RECAP
Star Tribune's three stars
1. David Booth, Canucks: Speedster scored two of the three goals against Darcy Kuemper and was a plus-3.
2. Eddie Lack, Canucks: Made a series of huge saves on the Wild and 29 in all.
3. Alex Edler, Canucks: With the Wild trailing 2-1, the defenseman swiped Zach Parise's would-be tying goal off the goal line.
By the numbers
7 Games, of the Wild's final nine, that are against teams currently in playoffs
1 Fight in the past nine games for the Wild (Cody McCormick vs. Tom Sestito)
9 Power-play goals in the past 26 chances against the Wild (65.4 percent kill rate)
-3 Rating for Marco Scandella and Mikael Granlund; minus-2 for Dany Heatley, and Jonas Brodin
