Ryan registered two helpers, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

Analysis:

With Mark Stone (upper body) ailing, Ryan stepped up to the challenge on the first line and delivered his first multi-point game since Jan. 16. It's been awhile since the winger has exploded for a meaningful outing, but the 29-year-old still boasts 55 points on the year -- one more than last season.
