In St Paul, the Minnesota Wild’sDevan Dubnyk iced for the first time at home since November.
He made the appearance count as he made 22 saves in a 3-0 shutout of the Calgary Flames on Monday night. 
“It’s nice to get back,” Dubnyk said. “I just wanted to get back to feeling like myself and just being confident. It’s been a while since I’ve had to go through the adversity of the start of the season here. It’s easy to let yourself worry about wins or losses or worry about getting scored on. I just tried to come back from the break and just go in and feel confident and be myself and it feels good to go out there and do that and just forget everything else and then see where we are at the end of the year.”
Luke Kunin and Joel Eriksson Ek scored for the WIld.
“We count on everyone in this locker room to have success and I thought we did a good job tonight,” Kunin said.
Eric Staal sealed with an empty-net goal late.
“The win is the response [to the loss on Saturday],” Wild head coach Bruce Boudreau .”I thought our defense and goaltending played great and we did what we had to do offensively. It wasn’t sharp in too many places but anytime you shut out a team 3-0 or 2-0 or anything-nothing, it’s a great win. … For the most part I was really happy with the outcome.”

Cam Talbot made 31 saves in the loss.
“Everyone plays back-to-backs. You’ve got to sometimes manage yourself out there,” Talbot said. “If you’re not feeling it, try to make the easy play, the smart play and get it deep. I thought that we turned a few too many pucks over at their blue line and gave them opportunities to come back at us.”
