    There is no mystery about who will be in Minnesota's net these days, and Niklas Backstrom doesn't appear to be in need of much rest.

    The way the Wild have been playing, their opponents are the ones who could use a break.

    Backstrom made 33 saves for his first shutout of the season, and Ryan Suter had two more assists, leading Minnesota past the San Jose Sharks 2-0 on Saturday for the Wild's season-high fifth straight victory.
