GAME RECAP
STAR TRIBUNE'S THREE STARS
1. Roberto Luongo, Canucks: 25 saves to stifle the low-scoring Wild.
2. Jannik Hansen, Canucks: Scored the winning goal, had five shots and was a pest all night.
3. Mikael Granlund, Wild: Maybe the best game in his young NHL career. Assisted on Devin Setoguchi's goal and won nine of 12 faceoffs.
