  "account": "Sunrise, Florida (AP) — Kirill Kaprizov scored three goals and provided an assist, while Matt Boldy netted his first goal of the season in Minnesota Wild's 4-1 victory over Florida Panthers in their home opener on Saturday night.\n\nKaprizov opened the scoring 53 seconds into the game, followed by Boldy's goal just 55 seconds later. Kaprizov added two more goals, one with 13 minutes and 42 seconds left in the first period and another with just 5 minutes remaining in the opening period. In the second period, Kaprizov wrapped up his hat trick with an empty-netter with 1 minute and 4 seconds left on the clock.\n\nWild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt continued his impressive start, stopping 28 shots on goal. Wallstedt has been the netminder for all five of Minnesota's games so far, posting a 3-1-1 record, a .935 save percentage, and only 1.79 goals against average.\n\nFlorida Panthers' Kirill Kaprizov had the sole goal for the Panthers, who have scored just nine goals in their first five games. The Panthers led for a total of 8 minutes and 40 seconds in the season's first five games.",
