2. Mikael Granlund stayed hot by scoring the game-winning goal.
Granlund saw his 10-game point streak end on Tuesday in San Jose, but has picked up after that, scoring once in Los Angeles and twice more in Anaheim before tallying the game's biggest goal on Sunday, 7:43 into the third period.
Granlund now has 18 points in his past 14 games and is tied for eighth in the NHL with 10 goals.
3. Minnesota scored 25 seconds apart in the second period to take a brief one-goal lead.
Coming off a day with no practice and a morning with no skate, the Wild appeared a half step slow in the first period. It nearly got away tied, but Oskar Sundqvist scored his third of the season with 59 seconds left to give St. Louis a 1-0 lead.
The Wild erased that lead quickly in the second period, as Zach Parise scored a pretty backhanded goal off a deflected Nino Niederreiter shot that had caromed off the post.
Moments later, it was Joel Eriksson Ek scoring his first of the season, cleaning up the rebound of a Jordan Greenway shot.
