Zack Kassian, Ryan Kesler and Daniel Sedin also scored for the Canucks, who moved within four points of Phoenix for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Eddie Lack made 29 saves in his 14th consecutive start.

Charlie Coyle and Nino Niederreiter tallied for Minnesota, which fell to 2-2-3 at home in March. Ilya Bryzgalov made five saves in relief of Darcy Kuemper, who was pulled after allowing three goals on 12 shots over two periods.

Booth opened the scoring 15:39 into the game, when he streaked down the right side of the ice and fired a shot past Kuemper. Coyle tied the game less than two minutes later, but Booth restored Vancouver’s advantage 11:57 into the second as he capitalized on a giveaway by Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon.

Kassian spun and fired a loose puck in off a faceoff in the final minute of the second period, which effectively ended Kuemper’s night. Sedin tipped in his 14th of the season with 8:48 remaining in the third and Kesler added a power-play goal 49 seconds later before Niederreiter capped the scoring at 12:25.
