He had 24 stops overall in his 1,029th career game, which tied Patrick Roy for third in NHL history among goaltenders.
In front of the Wild net, Kaprizov remained dynamic the rest of the way, trying a between-the-legs shot in the third before snagging another assist on a Jonas Brodin point shot at 6:02; Gaudreau’s helper on the goal extended his assist and point streaks to a career-high five games.
“Got a couple goals taken back, but nobody was deflated,” Fleury said. “We kept pushing, kept going, and Kirill made it happen again.”
At 16:08, Celebrini notched his second goal and third overall to continue his own showcase, but Boldy put an exclamation point on the Wild’s victory by burying his team-leading eighth goal into an empty net with 1:35 to go.
Boldy’s four game-winning goals lead the league, while Kaprizov’s 24 points are second behind the 25 for Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon; Kaprizov’s 17 even-strength points are tops.
The winger became only the fourth active player with a multi-point streak on the road of at least seven games, tying Edmonton’s Connor McDavid for the third longest behind Nashville’s Steven Stamkos and Nashville’s Roman Josi (eight games apiece).
