Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello also scored in third for the Wild before Marcus Foligno added an empty-netter. Marco Rossi and Hartman scored in the first period for Minnesota, and Filip Gustavsson finished with 25 saves.Hartman's goal early in the third tied the game at 3-3. Zuccarello scored from the slot at 6:48 and Eriksson Ek made a quick backhand-to-forehand move at 10:28 to make it 5-3.
Edmonton's Jack Campbell made 24 saves, including a sprawling, reaching-back-with-his-stick second-period save to rob Pat Maroon after a perfect pass across from Kaprizov, who finished with three assists.Over the past couple days, Edmonton coach Jay Woodcroft has emphasized McDavid’s absence is an opportunity for other players to step up.
