ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Ryan Hartman scored three goals as part of a career-high-tying five-point game, and the Minnesota Wild scored five times in the final period to beat the Edmonton Oilers 7-4 on Tuesday night.
It was Edmonton’s first game without captain and three-time MVP Connor McDavid, who suffered an upper-body injury Saturday and is expected to miss a week or two.
The Kirill Kaprizov-Hartman-Zuccarello line has been waiting for a game like this: four goals and six assists, including three helpers by Kaprizov. It had four goals and 11 assists in Minnesota’s first five games. Edmonton was 1-for-5 on the power play after entering with the fifth-best success rate in the league at 30 per cent through six games. That goal came from Kane on a redirect with just over seven minutes left to get the Oilers within 5-4.
“I thought the second period for Jack might have been his best as an Edmonton Oiler, numerous stick saves,” Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said.Over the past couple days, Woodcroft has emphasized McDavid’s absence is an opportunity for other players to step up.
