"You have to find different ways to win, and that's what we're doing," Blues coach Craig Berube said. "I don't think we panic, we just stay with it. Things don't go our way all the time, that's the way it is and night in and night out, things don't go your way all the time, you just have to keep battling."
Marcus Foligno, Kevin Fiala and Mats Zuccarello scored, and Devan Dubnyk made 25 saves for the Wild (4-9-1), who have lost three games in a row and are 1-3-1 in their past five.
"I don't know what to say," Zuccarello said. "It's up to us in here, the group to win games. Bounces or not, that's going to go against you sometimes. You can't rely on that, you've got to earn it. … It's a boring answer, and you can say it as long as you want, but we were playing hard. We're all battling out there, trying to do our best. If we play like that, we're going to get some wins."
Foligno scored on a deflection at 2:26 of the first period for a 1-0 lead.
MacEachern scored 1:34 later to tie the game 1-1 at 4:00.

Gunnarsson put the Blues ahead 2-1 with a wrist shot from a sharp angle at 14:25.
Fiala tied it 2-2 at 1:01 of the second period.
Zuccarello gave the Wild a 3-2 lead when he one-timed a pass from Eric Staal at 4:39.
Minnesota center Mikko Koivu had a goal overturned at 14:31 of the second period upon video review after Blues coach Craig Berube challenged for goaltender interference.
"It wasn't (interference)," Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. "That was my thoughts. It wasn't.
"It's discouraging. I'm glad we're not playing tomorrow. So we've got a day to build back up and about two days to go after it. But this team plays with a lot of heart. They wanted to win pretty badly, I thought, and it was discouraging. … I mean, the positive thing is you got a point, but I still think, the early stage here, we needed two, you know?"
Blais tied it 3-3 at 6:05 of the third period scoring down low off a pass from Tyler Bozak.

"It wasn't a perfect game, by any means," O'Reilly said. "I thought Jake played very well tonight and we didn't help him out enough. But obviously [we got] a couple breaks and found a way to win. It's an important two points, but a lot of adjustments we need to make going forward."

They said it

"I think we're definitely comfortable in high-pressure situations. We're a bit better, I don't think we're rushing things as much in the 3-on-3. I think we're waiting for our looks, which gives us a bit more confidence. We need to be better. We're still not consistent enough, and we've just got to keep building, keep building our game as much as we can." -- Blues center Ryan O'Reilly
"There's [66] games left. If you're going to get like that now, you're in real trouble. I'm guessing things can spiral if you're looking at Game 50 and you're not in the race, then all of a sudden then what do you do." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau on not getting discouraged
