Marc-Andre Fleury marked a significant milestone with his 1,000th NHL start, but the night began with an unexpected mishap as he allowed a goal just 27 seconds into the game against the Edmonton Oilers. Despite this, Fleury made 29 saves, and the Minnesota Wild secured a 5-3 victory, thanks to Frederick Gaudreau's two goals and an assist.

Wild players Matt Boldy, Marcus Foligno, and Marcus Johansson also contributed to the scoring. The team has shown strong performance lately, going 5-1-1 in their last seven games. Meanwhile, the Oilers are struggling, having lost three of their last four games.
