Boudreau was back in Minnesota for the first time since he was fired by the Wild and replaced by Dean Evason on Feb. 14, 2020. The Canucks are 23-11-7 since Boudreau was hired on Dec. 5.
"I thought it was a really good point," Boudreau said. "To come back in the third period, we didn't have a lot left in the tank. … When you go into overtime, anything can happen. We hit the post, they come down and score.
"Obviously, at this stage of the season, you need those other points, but I can't be unhappy with the fact that we got one point."
Kirill Kaprizov had a goal and an assist for the Wild (38-20-4), who won their fourth straight. Cam Talbot made 26 saves for his seventh straight win.
"We've been great defensively," Wild forward Kevin Fiala said. "A good job bearing down. Just stay on the right side of the ice and don't give them too much in the D-zone. Just stay tight and don't give them too many opportunities. We're blocking shots, boxing out, the details are great now."
