Matt Boldy scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period and added two assists, and the Minnesota Wild won their season-best sixth straight game while continuing their two-year domination of the Anaheim Ducks with a 4-1 victory Wednesday night.
Connor Dewar and Joel Eriksson Ek also scored and Marc-Andre Fleury made 21 saves for the Wild, who have earned 13 consecutive victories over the Ducks since January 2021. Last-place Anaheim has earned only four points during that stretch of the rivalry.
"Maybe in the second they had a few chances, but other than that, we controlled the puck and didn't give them a lot," Fleury said."It's just a good team game. We defend well, block a lot of shots and get rebounds. We have the puck a lot, too." After playing an NHL-high 21 road games already this season, the Ducks played the first of 10 straight games at Honda Center on a homestand that will last until Jan. 13. Anaheim's 10 consecutive home games are tied for the third-most in NHL history, surpassed only by 12-game homestands for the California Golden Seals and Tampa Bay .
The Wild went ahead 4:46 into the third when Dostal failed to save a mid-range wrist shot by Boldy, perhaps even deflecting it into his own net with his glove.
