Minnesota Wild forward Nino Niederreiter found himself in all alone and made no mistake against the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.
Wild captain Mikko Koivu noticed Niederreiter out-pacing Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm, and Koivu found his teammate with a perfect pass that he buried to tie the game in the first period.

Anaheim took the lead back on a tip-in by Rickard Rakell late in the opening period.
