After Gustav Nyquist received a double minor for high sticking on Jared Spurgeon at 14:13, Minnesota forward Nino Niederreiter scored on a second Wild power play at 15:47 to make it 2-0.
"[It was] completely accidental," Nyquist said of the penalty. "Obviously I didn't mean to do that. My stick gets caught, I'm trying to get body position on him. I'm happy [Spurgeon] was out there again obviously. I had no intention of doing that. My stick gets caught. It looks bad, but I'm happy he's OK."
Mantha made it 2-1 at 6:56 of the second period. Charlie Coyle scored at 14:14 to make it 3-1 but Zetterberg brought it back within one 1:25 later.

Zach Parise scored on a wide-open net at 3:59 of the third period to give the Wild a 4-2 lead. Athanasiou scored 35 seconds later to cut the lead to 4-3. Christian Folin increased Minnesota's lead to 5-3 at 7:20. Parise scored his second of the game on the power play at 10:47 to make it 6-3.
"Well, winning breeds [confidence]," Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. "If you're losing and you're in the same situation, you're usually so worried like, 'Here we go again. They're going to tie it up.' When you're winning, you're sitting there saying, 'OK we're going to find a way to keep this going.
"We weren't very good for the most part tonight. That was the mental toughness that we have to have if we want to be successful."
