In an impressive display, the Minnesota Wild overwhelmed the Seattle Kraken with a 4-0 victory, showcasing their offensive prowess early in the game. The Wild netted three goals in just 1:42, with Ryan Hartman, Matt Boldy, and Liam Ohgren finding the back of the net. Goalie Filip Gustavsson shined, earning his fifth shutout of the season with 34 saves. However, the win came at a cost, as Marco Rossi left the game due to a lower-body injury, further depleting the Wild's already struggling lineup.

This victory marked Minnesota's second consecutive win and bolstered their playoff hopes, having previously struggled with first-period scoring. With key players like Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek sidelined, the Wild's depth will be tested as they prepare for their next matchup against the Buffalo Sabres.
