Dan Myers gives three takeaways from the Wild's 3-2 overtime win against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville:

1. Minnesota extended its franchise-record winning streak to 11 games when Jared Spurgeonscored the game-winning goal with 2:14 remaining in overtime.

It capped a heck of a game by Jordan Schroeder, who dished out a beauty of an assist to set up Spurgeon's winner.

Entering the offensive zone 2-on-1, Schroeder cruised down the right-wing wall and perfectly centered a no-look pass right onto the tape of the Wild defenseman, who blasted a one-timer past an outstretched Pekka Rinne for the deciding goal. 

"I was surprised, to be honest," Schroeder said when asked about being chosen to play in the extra session. "I was excited. I wanted to go out there and make it happen. Fortunately, I was able to make that pass to Spurgeon and he was able to put it home."

Schroeder, who has spent most of the season in Iowa, finished perhaps his best game in a Wild uniform with two assists, including helpers on each of Minnesota's last two goals. 

His mere presence on the ice in overtime came after the fourth-line winger forced his way into a bigger role with his quality play all night long. After playing well through the first 40 minutes, Schroeder was even promoted to the top line during spurts in the scoreless third period.

"When you get the opportunity to move up, you want to try and take advantage of it," Schroeder said. "It's fun playing that way, playing with confidence.

"I don't want to blend in."

The two-point game was Schroeder's fourth multi-point effort in the NHL and first since he had two assists against Vancouver on Feb. 16, 2015.

"First of all, I thought he was playing well," said Wild coach Bruce Boudreau. "With his speed, I thought in the overtime, you give him a chance and he might get a breakaway. As long as he plays within the confines of what we want to do, he's going to get opportunities to score."

2. Wild forward Zach Parise returned to the lineup after missing two games with illness and provided some early offense.

Parise, who has been battling a pesky case of strep throat, missed the final pair of games before the holiday break but got back in the goal column on Tuesday, tipping a point blast by Matt Dumba past Rinne at 5:53 of the first period to give the Wild a 1-0 lead.
