Victor Olofsson's Two Goals Propel Golden Knights to Victory Over Wild

Vegas secures a 3-2 win in Minnesota as Kirill Kaprizov's scoring streak continues with another two-goal performance.

  • Victor Olofsson scored twice, including the game-winning goal early in the third period, marking his second two-goal game of the season.
  • Vegas defenseman Shea Theodore contributed a goal and an assist, while Jack Eichel added two assists to increase his team-leading total to 33.
  • Kirill Kaprizov scored both of Minnesota's goals, tying for the NHL lead with 22 goals this season and continuing his streak of consecutive two-goal games.
  • Minnesota's Jesper Wallstedt made his season debut in goal, stopping 24 of 27 shots, after being called up from the AHL due to Filip Gustavsson's minor injury.
  • The Golden Knights have now won five of their last six games, while the Wild have dropped three of their last five despite strong offensive performances from Kaprizov.
