By the numbers: Wild, Canucks combine for 17 goals

The Wild and Canucks reset the definition of a barnburner on Monday, combining for 17 goals in Minnesota's 10-7 win over Vancouver.

Here are some of the most mind-blowing stats from the goal-fest:

10 - The Wild hit double digits in goals, setting a new franchise single-game record, surpassing the previous best of eight.

7 - Minnesota struck for seven in the third period, a new franchise best for a single frame. No NHL team has scored more in a period since the Washington Capitals ran riot on the Tampa Bay Lightning on Feb. 3, 1999.

6 - Wild forwards Kirill Kaprizov (3-3-6) and Joel Eriksson Ek (3-3-6), are the first teammates to each score six points since Wayne Gretzky (2-4-6) and Tomas Sandstrom (0-6-6) did so for the Los Angeles Kings on Oct. 9, 1993, in a 10-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings. Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek also matched the club record for points in a game, tying Marian Gaborik, who did so twice.

5:45 - Minnesota scored six goals in under six minutes. It's the fourth-fastest mark to that tally in NHL history.

4 - The Wild bombarded the Canucks' net over a span of 2:17, setting a new franchise record for the fastest four goals scored.

3 - Kaprizov, Eriksson Ek, and Canucks forward J.T. Miller each scored a hat trick. This was the first game to feature three hat tricks since Jari Kurri, Luc Robitaille, and Mike Donnelly all scored three goals for the Kings in an 11-4 rout of the San Jose Sharks on Nov. 8, 1992.

.778 - It's an ugly save percentage for winning goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, who replaced Filip Gustavsson (.688) in relief. Casey DeSmith (.680) played the entire game for Vancouver.

66.7% - Minnesota was scorching hot on the power play, converting on four of six opportunities.
