Jason Pominville got a surprise shortly before taking the ice for his new team, the Minnesota Wild, on Sunday night. His wife, kids and father-in-law drove down from Buffalo, N.Y., to see Pominville in action against the Columbus Blue Jackets. It was a good night for the former Buffalo Sabres' captain -- he scored a goal and had an assist for his first points for the Wild since his trade last week -- in supporting Niklas Backstrom's 24 saves in a 3-0 Minnesota victory.
