GAME RECAP
Star Tribune's Three Stars
1. Jaccob Slavin, Carolina: Before he scored the only shootout goal with a nice move on Alex Stalock, the defenseman blocked Charlie Coyle's attempt to score on a rebound early in the third period, one of his team-high four blocks.
2. Alex Stalock, Wild: Thanks to his teammates' loose defense, he faced a barrage of grade-A chances, stopping 38 of 42 shots.
3. Victor Rask, Carolina: Gave the Hurricanes their only lead with 1:34 left in regulation and also had an assist.
