1. Jeff Skinner, Sabres: The winger had two third-period goals.
2. Kirill Kaprizov, Wild: The winger scored twice and picked up an assist for a game-high three-point effort.
3. Casey Mittelstadt, Sabres: The ex-Gopher from Eden Prairie tallied a goal and assist.
BY THE NUMBERS
2 Goals by Skinner in a 4:20 span in the third period.
15 Times the Wild has scored at 6-on-5, which leads the NHL.
20 Points for rookie Matt Boldy, who required the fewest games (22) to reach the 20-point mark among all skaters to debut with the Wild — including Kaprizov (24 games last season).
