Kaprizov became the first player in Wild history with three career multigoal playoff games and the third Wild player to start a postseason with consecutive multipoint games, joining John Klingberg (2023) and Eric Staal, who had a record four assists in the first two games in 2020.

Minnesota got first-period goals from Matt Boldy, Marcus Foligno and Mats Zuccarello, plus two from Kirill Kaprizov, who sealed the game with an empty-netter with just over two minutes to go. Kaprizov had three points and already has five in the series. His 12 career playoff goals have tied Marian Gaborik for second in franchise history.
