Kaprizov's OT Power-Play Winner Lifts Wild Past Golden Knights, 3-2

A late hooking call on Shea Theodore set up the decisive power play.

Overview

  • Kirill Kaprizov buried the winner with 9.7 seconds left in overtime on a 4-on-3, set up by Mats Zuccarello, after the penalty was called with 29 seconds remaining.
  • Minnesota’s goals came from Joel Eriksson Ek and Yakov Trenin, while Vegas answered with power-play tallies by Pavel Dorofeyev and Reilly Smith.
  • Filip Gustavsson made 23 saves for the Wild and Carl Lindbom stopped 24 shots for the Golden Knights as Minnesota held a 27–25 shot edge and a 3–0 advantage in OT.
  • Vegas went 2-for-4 on the power play and 3-for-4 on the penalty kill before the Wild converted their fourth opportunity for the sudden-death goal.
  • The loss extends Vegas’ early-season extra-time struggles to six OT defeats in 18 games, as Mitch Marner reached 20 points in 18 contests to set a franchise pace and the team closed a back-to-back with three of four points.
