After Fleury’s best save of the year, a glove snare vs. Travis Konecny that robbed Konecny of a near empty-net goal, the Wild capitalized first when Kaprizov wired in a shot from near the goal line at 14 minutes, 18 seconds of the first period.
That lead doubled with 4:39 left in the second after Boldy got on the end of a Brock Faber clear for a 4-on-4 breakaway that he slid under the right pad of Philadelphia goalie Samuel Ersson (19 saves).
Boldy is the second-fastest player in team history to reach 200 points, getting there in 233 games to trail only Kaprizov’s 169.
Then, 9:34 into the third, Zuccarello set up Marco Rossi for his 11th goal before Kaprizov notched his 20th into an empty net with 2:11 to go for his 45th point, which is second in the NHL. Kaprizov’s six empty-netters lead the league.
Fleury improved to 6-1-1 in his 1,003rd start, which tied Patrick Roy for the third most in NHL history.
