Minnesota Wild Beat Edmonton Oilers 5-3

Freddy Gaudreau led the Minnesota Wild to a 5-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, scoring twice and contributing an assist, as the Wild improved their NHL-best road record to 9-1-2. The game began with a misplay by Marc-Andre Fleury that allowed the Oilers to take an early lead, but the Wild quickly rallied back, with Matt Boldy, Marcus Foligno, and Marcus Johansson also scoring. Fleury, in his 1,030th career game, made 29 saves, moving him past Patrick Roy for third place in all-time games played. Despite a brief injury scare for star forward Kirill Kaprizov, the Wild maintained their composure to finish strong. The Oilers, led by Corey Perry's goal and an assist, have now lost three of their last four games. Minnesota will conclude their three-game road trip against the Flames on Saturday.
