Vasily Podkolzin delivered a crucial tiebreaking goal early in the third period, propelling the Edmonton Oilers to a 5-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild. This win marks the Oilers' seventh triumph in their last eight matches. Connor McDavid played a stellar role with two goals and an assist, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also contributed with a goal and an assist. Zach Hyman reignited the Oilers' offense, scoring his 15th goal of the season to kickstart a comeback from a 2-0 deficit.

Despite the loss, Minnesota saw Matt Boldy, Marco Rossi, and Ryan Hartman find the net, but their struggles continue as they grapple with significant injuries to key players. Filip Gustavsson made 31 saves for the Wild, who have now lost three of their last four games. The Wild initially surged ahead with Boldy's power-play goal and Rossi's subsequent tally, both early in the first period, but the Oilers quickly turned the tide.
