The struggling Wild rallied to beat the red-hot Devils on Saturday night.
Zuccarello scored on the Wild's first shootout attempt and Tatar missed for the Devils. Minnesota's Kirill Kaprizov and New Jersey's Jesper Bratt each missed in the second round before Gaudreau slowly skated in and lifted a shot high glove side.Down by one entering the third period, a slap shot by Matt Dumba caromed off Hartman's upper body and past Vanecek at 5:25. Hartman took a few seconds to gingerly get up before celebrating.
After an opening period where New Jersey struggled to get a consistent forecheck or offensive zone time, Tatar took a feed from Ondrej Palat and rocketed a shot past Gustavsson early in the second. Just over three minutes later he redirected a blast from Damon Severson. Badly outplayed in a 4-1 loss in Dallas on Wednesday and a 5-1 home loss to Vegas on Thursday, the Wild came out with a strong effort and a quick lead when Eriksson Ek redirected a wrist shot by Calen Addison for a power-play marker almost six minutes in.New Jersey defenseman Dougie Hamilton had an assist to extend his point streak to seven games. He has five goals and nine assists during in the span. His 37 assists for the season match a career-high set in 2016-17 with Calgary.
