Chris Stewart brought his usual energy in his return to the Wild’s home ice, and new recruit Eric Staal finished Minnesota’s comeback in its home opener.

Stewart had a goal, an assist and finished his second period with a fight, while Staal got his first goal with his new team to help the Wild overcome a two-goal deficit and beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 on Saturday night.

Stewart scored to start the comeback and assisted on Matt Dumba’s power-play goal that tied it, then Staal capped the three-goal second period to lead 3-2.

“I have high praise for Stew and what he does,” Dumba said. “Tonight, he showed why he’s so valuable. He contributed lots and really got this ball rolling.”

Stewart was known for his exuberance when he arrived in Minnesota via trade in 2015 and helped the Wild to the Western Conference semifinals. Stewart played 56 games for new Wild coach Bruce Boudreau in Anaheim last season, scoring eight goals with 12 assists.

The big forward’s shot from left of the crease deflected off Ehlers’ skate and crossed the line before goalie Michael Hutchinson swiped the puck away. After a quick review, the officials’ call stood as a good goal.
