Kirill Kaprizov tallied two goals and an assist, Quinn Hughes scored a goal in his team debut and the Minnesota Wild posted a 6-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Sunday evening in Saint Paul, Minn.
Ryan Hartman finished with a goal and two assists for Minnesota, which won its fourth game in a row. Matt Boldy notched a goal and an assist, and Jared Spurgeon scored a goal.
Alex Steeves and Andrew Peeke scored for Boston, whose four-game winning streak ended.
Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson stopped 29 of 31 shots to earn the victory. Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman allowed six goals on 31 shots.
The Wild opened the scoring on a power-play goal with 9:49 remaining in the first period. Spurgeon fired a wrist shot through traffic and into the net.
Kaprizov made it 2-0 when he scored with 11:11 left in the second period. He tipped in a puck that had bounced off the end boards and caromed in front of the net.
Minnesota increased its lead to 3-0 with its second power-play goal. Brock Faber rushed toward the crease and slipped a pass to Hartman, who lifted a shot past Swayman.
Hughes' moment arrived next. In the first minute of the third period, he received a pass in the high slot and ripped a wrist shot through Swayman's leg pads for his first goal with the Wild.
A raucous crowd erupted for Hughes, whom Minnesota acquired from the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night in exchange for three young players and a 2026 first-round pick.
Boldy gave the Wild a 5-0 lead with 11:52 to go in the third. He circled from left to right behind the net and threw a shot toward traffic in front of the crease.
The Bruins got on the scoreboard with 9:02 left. Steeves spotted a loose puck and beat Gustavsson on his stick side to cut the deficit to 5-1.
Kaprizov added his second goal of the game and his team-high 20th of the season with 5:05 to play. He walked in and scored from the top of the right circle.
Peeke finished the scoring with a goal in the waning seconds.
