Minnesota wins Wild matinee, tops Canucks 10-7
Joel Eriksson Ek and Kirill Kaprizov each had hat tricks for the Minnesota Wild in their record-filled victory over the Vancouver Canucks.
Wild Stage Comeback in Record-Breaking Win
The Minnesota Wild faced a three-goal deficit in the second period but managed to storm back and secure a 10-7 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.
The Wild's incredible comeback, which saw them score six unanswered goals in a span of 5:45, set a new franchise record for the most goals in a game.
Joel Eriksson Ek and Kirill Kaprizov both recorded hat tricks, contributing to the team's historic win.
Fastest Flurry of Goals in 25 Years
Minnesota's six-goal outburst in under six minutes was the fastest such flurry in the NHL in 25 years. The last time a team achieved this feat was on February 3, 1999, when the Washington Capitals scored six goals in 4:47.
The Wild's offensive explosion was a result of their relentless determination and ability to stay focused even when they were trailing by a significant margin.
Franchise Records Broken
In addition to setting a new record for goals in a game, the Minnesota Wild also achieved their fastest four-goal stretch in team history, all on the power play. They scored four goals in just 2:17 to take a 6-5 lead early in the third period.
Matt Boldy, Mats Zuccarello, Marco Rossi, and Jonas Brodin also contributed to the scoring frenzy, showcasing the team's offensive depth.
