    Minnesota coach Mike Yeo didn't flinch after his goalie's rare flop.

    He went right back to Niklas Backstrom, and the Wild rode his glove to an important victory.

    Backstrom rebounded from a rough game and an early exit on an emotional evening with 32 saves, and the Wild stopped a two-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night.
