Minnesota found the offense it had lacked in the first two games behind Mikael Granlund and Zach Parise’s power-play goals in the opening period of Sunday’s win. Getting the early lead could be the key to tying this series on Tuesday along with another solid effort from Devan Dubnyk in goal. He stopped 29 of the 31 shots he faced in Game 3 after allowing seven goals in the 84 shots he faced in the first two games.
