    Despite a depleted lineup and a lethargic first 40 minutes, the Minnesota Wild managed to forge a tie and take the New York Islanders to overtime.

    In the end, though, there was agreement from both sides -- each team got just what it deserved.

    Frans Nielsen scored the only goal in the shootout and Al Montoya's glove was in good form, giving the Islanders their first extra-time victory of the season, 2-1 over the Wild on Saturday night.
