Minnesota Wild Defeat Utah in Historic Shootout Thriller

Matt Boldy's shootout goal and Marco Rossi's late equalizer lift the Wild to a 5-4 victory in Utah's first NHL shootout.

Matt Boldy scored the decisive shootout goal, securing a 5-4 win for the Minnesota Wild against the Utah Hockey Club in Salt Lake City.
Marco Rossi tied the game with just 44 seconds left in regulation, forcing overtime after a dramatic third period with five goals scored.
Clayton Keller led Utah's offense with two power-play goals in the third period, while Juuso Valimaki and Kevin Stenlund also scored for the team.
Minnesota's Filip Gustavsson made 21 saves, including four in overtime, and stopped all three Utah shootout attempts to seal the win.
The Wild, now tied for the NHL's most points, maintain their league-best road record at 12-2-3 and return home for a five-game stretch starting Thursday.
