-The top line of C Eric Staal, LW Jason Zucker and RW Nino Niederreiter were held in check Wednesday, generating just two scoring chances. Niederreiter did lead all Wild players with seven hits.

-G Devan Dubnyk stopped 37 shots.

-D Nate Prosser blocked a team-high five shots on the night.

-C Joel Eriksson Ek was briefly knocked out of the game after taking a big hit from Winnipeg D Dustin Byfuglien. He returned to action but missed Thursday’s practice, so his status for Game 2 is unknown. He led the Wild with four shots on goal.

-D Matt Dumba played a game-high 30:03, as the Wild are forced to try to fill the void left by an injury to No. 1 D Ryan Suter.

-Minnesota went 0-for-1 on the powerplay and 1-for-2 on the penalty kill.
