TORONTO --
Mikael Granlund whistled the eventual game-winner over the left shoulder of Maple Leafs goaltender Garret Sparks on a third period power play. It was the second of two power-play goals for the Wild, who helped their post-season positioning with the win.
Minnesota holds sole control of the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference with 70 points this season.
Mikko Koivu also scored a power-play goal for the Wild, while Jake Gardiner managed his sixth goal of the year for the Leafs.
