Overview

• Minnesota announced an eight-year, $136 million extension for Kirill Kaprizov earlier in the day, framing the team’s long-term core heading into the season.
• The Wild rallied in St. Paul on goals from Matt Boldy and Kaprizov, with Marcus Foligno potting the shorthanded winner late in the second period.
• Winnipeg’s Cole Koepke and Vladislav Namestnikov scored, but the Jets could not convert on four power plays in the 3-2 loss.
• Connor Hellebuyck made 16 saves in his preseason debut for the Jets, while Jesper Wallstedt stopped 26 for Minnesota.
• Jets coach Scott Arniel said Jonathan Toews “tweaked something” and will be evaluated back home; Namestnikov was pulled by a concussion spotter after a hit and was said to be fine postgame, as Winnipeg also processed multiple waiver moves and continues to navigate Dylan Samberg’s 6–8 week absence.
