The Minnesota Wild triumphed over the Toronto Maple Leafs with a 3-1 victory on Wednesday, marking the Leafs' third consecutive loss in regulation. Filip Gustavsson was instrumental, making 31 saves for the Wild, who have now won two straight games. Jared Spurgeon, Marat Khusnutdinov, and Marcus Foligno scored for Minnesota, while William Nylander netted the lone goal for the Leafs. Toronto's Joseph Woll stopped 22 shots, but the team's offensive struggles continued, managing just three goals during this slump.

Despite missing star winger Kirill Kaprizov due to injury, the Wild established an early 2-0 lead in the first period, with Khusnutdinov and Spurgeon finding the net. Nylander attempted to rally the Leafs and scored his team-leading 29th goal midway through the third period, yet Foligno's late goal sealed the game. The Wild will continue their road trip against the Montreal Canadiens, while the Leafs prepare for a challenging stretch against the Edmonton Oilers.
