Ryan Hartman<\/a> gave the Wild a 1-0 lead at 6:17 of the first period. Faber skated the puck in from the right point and passed behind the net to Kirill Kaprizov<\/a>, who made a quick pass in front to Hartman before the forward flicked the puck past Knight.<\/p>\n

Johansson made it 2-0 at 7:58. After Jonas Brodin<\/a>\u2019s shot from the point was stopped by Knight, the puck deflected off Wild forward Michael McCarron<\/a>\u00a0over to Johansson, who scored from the bottom of the right face-off circle.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a little while,\u201d said Johansson, who hadn\u2019t scored a goal since Jan. 15 and ended a 15-game drought. \u201cI\u2019ve had plenty of chances. I think people know I\u2019m not a shoot-first guy always, but they come in waves sometimes. It\u2019s always frustrating when they don\u2019t go in, but yeah, it was nice to get kind of a lucky one, a fluke one, but those count, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crevier cut it to 2-1 at 10:47, scoring with a slap shot from above the right circle to the far side.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom halfway through the game, I think we played really solid,\u201d Crevier said. \u201cI think it’s just finding consistency in playing like that or closer to that than we did in the first half.<\/p>\n

“It’s weird how the game changes sometimes. I think once we got our rhythm, we gained confidence. Then we just went all in and kept going. Once again, it’s all about trying to do that more often.”<\/p>\n

Vladimir Tarasenko<\/a> restored the Wild\u2019s two-goal lead by making it 3-1 on the power play at 18:30. He scored on a wrist shot from the left circle off a pass by Johansson, giving him three goals in the past two games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Hartman gave the Wild a 1-0 lead at 6:17 of the first period.
