Baby steps??? The Wild capture a point in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Jimmy Howard denied Erik Haula on a 2-on-1 break in overtime, while Andreas Anthansiou, fresh off the bench beat a gambling Devan Dubnyk, and made him lose. Eric Staal and Nate Prosser scored for Minnesota, while Dubnyk stopped 16 out of 19 shots, taking the loss.
Minnesota got on the board first when Staal got behind the Red Wing defense with a great pass from Jonas Brodin.
