15 Things to Know:

1. Minnesota joins San Jose as the only team to outshoot its opponent in every game this season, including a 65-25 advantage in the second period. Entering play Sunday, Minnesota leads the NHL in fewest shots against/game (21.4) and ranks ninth in shots/game (32.4). From 2011-12 to 2012-13, Minnesota improved its per-game shot differential by 6.6 shots; the largest single-season increase by any NHL team in the last five seasons. Since 2008-09, only four other teams have improved their shot differential by more than 5.0 shots per game.

2. Matt Cooke has four points (2-2=4), including both game-winning goals, in his last two games. He leads Minnesota in points (3-2=5), multi-point games (2), plus/minus rating (+4) and has yet to take a penalty.

3. Jason Pominville returns to Buffalo after being acquired by the Wild April 3. He signed a five-year contract extension with Minnesota on the first day of the season, Oct. 3. He totaled 456 points (185-271=456) in 578 games with the Sabres. Since the start of the 2007- 08 season, he ranks 20th for most assists and 26th in scoring amongst all NHL players. He also ranks T-9th in the NHL with 535 games played since the start of 2006-07, not missing a game in five of the last seven seasons.

4. Minnesota has collected points in four of its five games this season (2-1-2). The Wild has scored first in four of the contests and, entering play Sunday, ranks T-3rd in the NHL with seven first-period goals. Minnesota has also scored a power-play goal in four games, ranking fifth in the NHL in power-play percentage (30.4%).

5. Minnesota opens a four-game road trip, tied for its longest of the season. The Wild went 12-11-1 on the road last season, including a five-game road win streak (3/9-3/25) that was the second-longest in team history. The streak set a franchise record with four straight road victories by more than one goal and matched a franchise record with four straight road regulation victories.

6. Per Elias Sports Bureau, Justin Fontaine and Mathew Dumba became the fourth Wild duo to score their first career NHL goals in the same game Saturday. Fontaine not only set a franchise record for fastest Wild goal to start a game (:12), he matched the NHL’s record for fastest first career goal (Rick Boh, North Stars,1988).

7. Entering play Sunday, Minnesota leads the NHL in faceoff win percentage (58.4%). Minnesota set a franchise record by winning 45- of-61 faceoffs Thursday vs. Winnipeg (73.8%).

The Karlstad, Sweden native was named to the 2012-13 NHL All-Rookie Team and finished fourth in voting.

9. Josh Harding has earned victories in both starts this season and, entering play Sunday, ranks sixth amongst NHL goalies in GAA (1.07). The only even-strength goal he has allowed this season was a penalty shot (Nystrom) Tuesday in Nashville, which he came off the bench to face after Niklas Backstrom was injured on the play.

10. Ryan Suter leads the NHL in TOI/game (28:45), having led all skaters (Wild and opponent) in ice time during every game this season. He’s topped 30 minutes TOI in three games this year, while adding three assists. Last season, the alternate captain led the NHL in TOI/game at 27:16 (franchise record) and skated more than 30 minutes in 10 regular season games.

13.Mikko Koivu tallied a power-play assist Tuesday to notch his 400th career NHL point (119-281-400) and became the Wild’s all-time leader in power-play points Oct. 5. He needs 37 points to become Minnesota’s all-time leading scorer (Gaborik, 219-218=437). His 119 career goals are tied with Andrew Brunette for second on the Wild’s all-time list (Gaborik, 219).
