Kaprizov scores his NHL-leading 14th goal as the Wild beat the Mammoth 3-1
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- Kirill Kaprizov scored his NHL-leading 14th goal of the
season and added an assist, Jesper Wallstedt stopped 26 of the 27 shots he
faced, and the Minnesota Wild beat the Utah Mammoth 3-1 on Tuesday night.
Joel Eriksson Ek and Maxim Shabanov also had goals while Quinn Hughes had two
assists for the Wild, who have won three straight and went 3-1-1 on a five-game
road trip.
Utah's Logan Cooley scored with 1:21 to play to spoil Wallstedt's shutout bid.
Kaprizov scored on the power-play just 48 seconds into the second period to
give the Wild a 2-0 lead. He has multiple points in three consecutive games and
has scored a goal in eight of his last nine games.
Kaprizov is also tied with Alexander Ovechkin for the fifth-most goals scored
in October in NHL history.
Eriksson Ek also scored on the power play with less than five minutes to play
in the first period and has eight points (3 goals, 5 assists) in his last seven
games.
Karel Vejmelka made 27 stops for the Mammoth, who have lost three of their last
five games.
