2. James Wisniewski, Blue Jackets: Scored the winning goal, assisted on two others and made a key defensive play late in the game.
3. Zach Parise, Wild: Extended his goal streak to three games and lifted the Wild with his heart and hustle throughout.
By the Numbers
7 Victories over the Wild for Columbus coach Todd Richards, who coached the Wild from 2009 to '11.
