Wild Defeat Oilers as Fleury and Kaprizov Overcome Challenges

Marc-Andre Fleury rebounds from an early mishap to secure a milestone win, while Kirill Kaprizov returns from a brief injury scare to contribute in Minnesota's 5-3 road victory.

Marc-Andre Fleury, in his 1,030th NHL game and 1,000th start, overcame an early 135-foot fluke goal to make 28 saves and secure his fourth consecutive win.
Kirill Kaprizov briefly exited the game after a knee-on-knee collision but returned to assist on a goal and extend his road point streak to a franchise-record 11 games.
Frederick Gaudreau led the Wild's offensive effort with two goals and an assist, tying his career high for points in a game.
The Wild improved to an NHL-best 9-1-2 on the road this season, showcasing depth with timely contributions from multiple lines.
Minnesota’s disciplined play limited Edmonton stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to just two points combined, solidifying the Wild's position as a top contender.
