Wild Snap Five-Game Slide With 5-2 Win Over Canucks

Sharper special teams plus sturdy goaltending powered Minnesota's course correction.

Overview

  • The victory ended Minnesota’s five-game losing streak and marked its first regulation home win in seven tries this season.
  • Vladimir Tarasenko produced a goal and two assists, his first three-point outing since April 1, 2024.
  • Marco Rossi netted the second-period go-ahead goal, with Vinnie Hinostroza and Jonas Brodin extending the lead before Ryan Hartman’s empty-netter.
  • Special teams flipped the script as Tarasenko scored on the power play and the penalty kill went 3-for-3 after early homestand struggles.
