2. Pominville sparks the Wild offense
It maybe didn’t show up in the stats, but Jason Pominville put together a big game for the Wild. He helped start Minnesota’s scoring chances and even picked up an assist on the first Wild goal.

Was a Granlund rebound….But every scoring chance for that line tonight has started with Pominville

Zach Parise scored his eighth goal of the season to pull Minnesota even.
3. Kuemper keeps the Wild in it
Darcy Kuemper played well enough to keep the Wild in the game, but Minnesota didn’t score enough to help him win it. Kuemper stopped 18 of the 20 shots he faced.
