ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Wild secured their fourth consecutive win on Tuesday, overcoming a two-goal deficit to triumph over the St. Louis Blues with a score of 6-4. Matt Boldy netted the crucial tiebreaking goal early in the third period after teaming up with Mats Zuccarello on a swift 2-on-1 break, capitalizing on a broken stick belonging to Blues defenseman Jake Broberg in the neutral zone.

The scoring surge for the Wild began when Joel Eriksson Ek found the back of the net midway through the second period, which set the stage for Jake Middleton to level the encounter just 1:16 into the third. Later, Marcus Johansson sealed the game with an empty-net goal.

The Blues had initially taken control of the match thanks to goals from Jordan Kyrou, Jake Neighbours, and Robert Thomas in the second period, which granted them a 4-2 advantage. This forced the Wild to replace goalie Filip Gustavsson, who had performed admirably in earlier games this season against St. Louis, having conceded just three goals across two contests.

In relief, Marc-Andre Fleury showcased his skills, stopping all 16 shots that came his way, including a spectacular windmill glove save that thwarted a close-range attempt by Dylan Holloway in the closing moments of the game.

The Wild appeared to have gained momentum early on, with Zach Bogosian and Jon Merrill both scoring within 49 seconds to establish a 2-1 lead shortly into the match.

Injury updates revealed that Middleton made a comeback from an upper-body injury that had kept him sidelined for ten games. This came after another key defenseman, Brock Faber, left the game due to a similar injury. Meanwhile, team captain Jared Spurgeon and star left winger Kirill Kaprizov remain out of commission with lower body injuries, with no set return dates.

A decisive moment came early in the second period when Minnesota was inches away from extending a 3-1 lead. A shot from Zuccarello was miraculously cleared from the goal line by Parayko, while seconds later, Binnington would deny both Jonas Brodin and Marco Rossi. This series of events concluded with a tripping penalty by Merrill on Kyrou, who capitalized on the resulting power play to score just seven seconds into it.

In noteworthy statistics, Neighbours recorded his 11th goal of the season, marking his first in twelve games.

Looking ahead, the Blues are set to face off against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday to kick off a four-game homestand, while the Wild prepare to host the Colorado Avalanche on the same night.
