Matt Cullen scored a goal and added an assist in Minnesota's 3-2 win over the Ducks Sunday. Cullen's scoring pace this season isn't at that different from his typical numbers, but with the time he spends on the power play, he's unlikely to suffer the type of drop-off he endured towards the end of last season. Jared Spurgeon and Kyle Brodziak also found the back of the net for the Wild in this win.

Matt Cullen was the first star tonight in Minnesota's 5-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks Thursday night. Cullen potted two goals and also registered an assist in the contest. With the three point night, Cullen now has eight points in 12 games on the season. Cullen is a special teams stud as he had four shorthanded and five power play goals in 2010-11 and could be worth a look in leagues that reward shorthanded points.

Matt Cullen leads the Minnesota Wild in goals this season with three. This is great for the Wild as Cullen struggled at the end of last season, not finding the back of the net in his final 24 games. "All it is is a start," he said. "It's four games. But I feel good. I'm enjoying the guys I'm playing with. And I really do like this system. It's up-tempo." All three goals have been at even strength, tying his mark of last season after only four games. He is a special teams stud as he had four shorthanded and five power play goals in 2010-11. Look for Cullen to hit the 20 goal mark this season if he and his linemates Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Guillaume Latendresse stay healthy.

The Minnesota Wild are hoping that the second line of Matt Cullen, Guillaume Latendresse and Pierre-Marc Bouchard have good chemistry. It's working out thus far in training camp as head coach Mike Yeo likes what he sees from the second line. "It was a hot topic before the season started, how would those guys mesh with each other," Yeo said. "From watching them in practice and they seemed to be really clicking in that first game in Edmonton. That's kind of an indication that they're really starting to feed off each other." The Wild are starting to look good up front with a first line of Mikko Koivu, Dany Healtey and Devin Setoguchi. If the second line plays well, it will be exciting hockey in the Twin Cities.
