Filip Gustavsson's 38 Saves Propel Minnesota Wild to 2-1 Victory Over Hurricanes

The Wild end a two-game scoreless streak with goals from Yakov Trenin and newcomer Vinnie Hinostroza in a tightly contested game.

  • Filip Gustavsson rebounded from a tough outing against Ottawa with a stellar performance, stopping 38 of 39 shots to secure the win for Minnesota.
  • Yakov Trenin opened the scoring early in the first period, capitalizing on a feed from Marat Khusnutdinov to give the Wild a 1-0 lead.
  • Vinnie Hinostroza, recently claimed off waivers, scored his first goal in a Wild jersey early in the third period, a crucial play confirmed after video review.
  • Carolina's Sebastian Aho cut the deficit to 2-1 late in the game, but the Hurricanes failed to equalize despite a late offensive surge and pulling their goalie.
  • The win snapped a two-game losing streak for Minnesota, providing a much-needed morale boost as they prepare to face the New York Islanders next.
