Wild top Canucks in OT, inch closer to playoff spot
Zuccarello snuck behind the Vancouver defense and took a pass from Kirill Kaprizov then deked goaltender Kevin Lankinen as the Wild (44-30-7, 95 points) clawed their way back from a two-goal deficit to start the third period.
Brock Faber had a goal and an assist and Marcus Foligno scored for the Wild, who entered the contest needing a regulation win along with a regulation loss by St. Louis to clinch a Western Conference wild-card spot. The Blues (43-30-8, 94 points) lost in a shootout to the Seattle Kraken, earning them a point.
Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson stopped 12 of 14 shots.
Jake DeBrusk and Marcus Pettersson scored for the Canucks (37-29-14, 88 points). Quinn Hughes got his 59th assist of the season while Lankinen stopped 30 of 33 shots.
Hughes became just the seventh defenseman in league history to record three consecutive 75-point seasons.
Pettersson opened the scoring for Vancouver at 3:11 of the first with a shot that beat Gustavsson to the short side.
DeBrusk scored a power-play goal at 13:08 of the second to give Vancouver a 2-0 lead. DeBrusk beat Gustavsson with a shot to the blocker side that looked similar to Pettersson's.
Faber got the Wild's rally started by threading a shot through the legs of the Canucks' Conor Garland and past Lankinen just 22 seconds in the third to cut the Vancouver lead to 2-1.
Foligno scored at 13:14 of the third to tie the game 2-2 and set the stage for overtime.
This was the teams' final meeting this season. The Wild won the first game at home 3-2 in overtime on Dec. 3, then the Canucks returned the favor against the visiting Wild 3-1 on March 7.

Norwegian Olympic medalist Audun Grønvold dies after lightning strike
The 2010 Olympic ski cross medalist Audun Grønvold has died after being struck by lightning, the Norwegian ski federation announced on Wednesday. He was 49. Grønvold won bronze at the 2010 Vancouver Games. 'It is with great sadness that we have received the news of Audun Grønvold's untimely passing,' the federation said. 'The former national alpine skier and ski cross athlete was recently struck by lightning during a cabin trip.' The federation said Grønvold was 'quickly taken to hospital and received treatment for the injuries he sustained in the lightning strike' but died on Tuesday night. Grønvold was a member of Norway's alpine skiing team before he moved into freestyle and ski cross. He had one podium finish as a World Cup alpine skier, finishing third in a downhill in Sierra Nevada, Spain, in 1999. He also won a bronze medal in ski cross at the 2005 world championships, and the overall ski cross cup in 2007. After his career ended, he became a national-team coach and a TV commentator. 'Norwegian skiing has lost a prominent figure, who has meant so much to both the Alpine and freestyle communities,' the federation president, Tove Moe Dyrhaug, said, adding that his death created 'a huge void'. Grønvold is survived by his wife and three children. Kristin Tandberg Haugsjå said in a Facebook post that her husband was 'my great love and my best friend for 20 years'. She added the accident had happened while they were on their summer vacation.
