During a crazed third period in which the Wild was close to playoff elimination after squandering an early 2-0 lead, Mikko Koivu scored on a game-tying late goal on a sweet set-up pass from Mikael Granlund.

Then, about five minutes into overtime in Dallas, Koivu was near the net when Ryan Suter took a shot from near the blue line.
