Yurov's First NHL Goal Lifts Wild Past Rangers

Danila Yurov scored his first NHL goal — an 8:16 third-period rebound tap-in that broke a 1-1 tie — to lift the Minnesota Wild to a 3-1 road victory over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden and snap Minnesota’s three-game losing streak. Yurov received more ice time with Marco Rossi sidelined by injury and has been mentored by Vladimir Tarasenko, who retrieved the milestone puck. Filip Gustavsson made 22 saves, including key stops in the third period, and Kirill Kaprizov added a late empty-net goal to seal the win. Artemi Panarin opened the scoring for the Rangers, and Igor Shesterkin finished with 29 saves. Minnesota heads to New Jersey Wednesday to finish the road trip, buoyed by the morale-boosting victory and a clearer team identity under coach John Hynes.
