Parise opened the scoring with the only goal of the first period by capitalizing against Tampa Bay’s typically stingy penalty kill.

Eric Staal took a feed from Jared Spurgeon in front and sent a blind pass behind him to Parise, who lifted the puck over a sprawling McElhinney. It was Parise’s team-high seventh power-play goal of the season.

The Lightning have allowed power-play goals in back-to-back games after going five straight with a perfect penalty kill. Tampa Bay has killed 88.3% of penalties since Nov. 1, the best mark in the NHL during that span.

Kucherov tied the game early in the second with a shot into an open net after a series of quick passes from Mikhail Sergachev and Ondrej Palat.

The Wild answered five minutes later with Eriksson Ek’s fourth goal and took control 3-1 when Suter’s drive from the point sailed past McElhinney.

Kucherov scored a power-play goal in the third, his sixth in as many games. He has three multi-goal games this season.
