The Minnesota Wild defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 in a game where the Wild dominated with a strong performance on special teams, scoring three goals in the first period and killing off all five penalties called against them. Joel Eriksson Ek’s empty-net goal secured the win for the Wild, who boast the best penalty kill rate (21 for 22) and most successful power play (7 for 17) in the NHL this season. The game was marred by an injury to Wild forward Nico Sturm early on.
