ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ryan Hartman scored twice, Filip Gustavsson
made 27 saves for his 12th NHL shutout and the Minnesota Wild
beat the St. Louis Blues 5-0 on Thursday night in the opener for
both teams.
Matt Boldy, Joel Eriksson Ek and Marco Rossi also scored, and
Kirill Kaprizov had three assists in his first game since
signing an eight-year, $136 million contract. Gustavsson played
days after agreeing to a five-year, $34 million contract
extension.
Hartman and Boldy — who also had two assists — scored late in
the first period. Hartman connected from the edge of the slot
with 4:06 left and Boldy had a tip past Jordan Binnington with
2:30 to go.
Eriksson Ek scored on a power-play rebound with 7:33 left in the
second period for his 300th career point. Hartman added his
second goal with 2:24 left in the period, beating Binnington
from close range.
Rossi scored off a rebound at 7:26 of the third.
