The Wild earned a split on their two-game road trip through the Eastern Conference after falling 2-1 in overtime to the Maple Leafs on Friday at Scotiabank Arena.
That ended the Wild's win streak at four games, but the team is 5-1-2 in its last eight.
Toronto's William Nylander scored the tiebreaker 1 minute, 5 seconds into overtime.
For the second straight game, Brandon Duhaime gave the Wild a first-period lead, his bank shot at 12:10 ringing up as his third goal in the last four games.
Toronto responded at 16:07 when David Kampf one-timed in a behind-the-net feed from Nylander, to set up a staring contest the rest of the way. Neither power play converted, with the Maple Leafs going 0 for 2 and the Wild 0 for 1.
Filip Gustavsson finished with 22 saves, while Ilya Samsonov had 24 stops for Toronto.
