St. Paul, Minn. (AP) — Matt Boldy achieved his fifth career hat trick and contributed to a four-point performance as the Minnesota Wild secured a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night. Kirill Kaprizov contributed with his league-leading ninth goal and two assists, while Danila Yurov added a goal, and Jesper Wallstedt made 20 saves for Minnesota, who have now won three of their last four games.
Dylan Holloway scored the game-winner for St. Louis with just 15 seconds remaining after Robert Thomas netted with 4 minutes left on the clock. Jonas Berggren and Mason McTavish also found the back of the net. Boldy's goal came from a no-look backhand pass delivered by Kaprizov, which led to the Wild taking a 5-2 lead late in the second period. The top-line of Boldy, Kaprizov, and Eriksson Ek has scored 12 goals in their last four games.
