Ryan Hartman's Hat Trick Carries Minnesota Wild to 7-4 Win Over Edmonton Oilers

Hartman delivers career-high-tying five-point game helping Wild overcome Oilers who played without star center Connor McDavid due to injury.

Ryan Hartman had a standout performance for Minnesota Wild against Edmonton Oilers, scoring three goals in a five-point game - a career high that he tied. This was his first hat trick since January 2017.
The Oilers played without their star center and three-time MVP Connor McDavid, who suffered an upper-body injury and is expected to be out of action for one to two weeks.
The game saw the Wild score five times in the final period, with Joel Eriksson Ek, Mats Zuccarello, and Marcus Foligno also scoring for the team. This helped them dramatically overcome the Oilers with a 7-4 victory.
Hartman, Kirill Kaprizov, and Zuccarello, combined for four goals, 10 points, and 24 shot attempts for the Wild. They had been underperforming in the first five games of the season but managed to turn it around.
The Oilers scored one goal from five power plays, showing a dip in their performance. Prior to this match, they boasted the fifth-best power play success rate in the league at 30%.
