Matt Boldy scores the only goal in a shootout to send the Wild past Utah 5-4

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Matt Boldy was the only scorer in the shootout and lifted the Minnesota Wild to a 5-4 victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday night.

Minnesota's Marco Rossi scored with 43.2 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Kirill Kaprizov added his 18th goal of the season, and Marat Khusnutdinov and Marcus Johansson also scored for the Wild. Filip Gustavsson finished with 21 saves.

Clayton Keller scored twice in the third period to rally the Utah Hockey Club from a one-goal deficit. Kevin Stenlund and Juuso Valimaki also scored, and Karel Vejmelka made 34 saves.

Utah lost its fifth straight home game. Minnesota won for the sixth time in seven games.

The Wild erased a 1-0 deficit late in the second after scoring twice in a 36-second span. Khusnutdinov evened the score when he raced down the middle unobstructed and snapped the puck past Vejmelka. Minnesota went up 2-1 after Kaprizov swiped the puck from Olli Maatta and scored on a successful counterattack.

Keller rallied Utah with two third-period goals, both coming on the power play. Valimaki’s goal with 8:15 remaining gave Utah a 4-3 lead before Rossi forced overtime.

Wild: Minnesota dominated on defense through the first two periods, allowing just 12 shots on goal before slipping a bit during a chaotic third.

Utah: Keller has 22 points in 28 career games against Minnesota after scoring his eighth and ninth goals of the season.

Rossi gave the Wild new life when he snapped the puck through two sets of legs and over Vejmelka’s hip for the tying goal.

Minnesota has recorded a league-leading 12 road wins through 17 games.

Minnesota returns home for five straight games, starting with Edmonton on Thursday. Utah visits Colorado on Thursday.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Frank Vatrano had two goals and assist after signing a three-year contract extension Sunday, John Gibson picked up his 200th NHL win and the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1.

Troy Terry also had a goal and an assist for the Ducks, who have won four of their last six. Jackson Lacombe put it out of reach at 16:26 of the third.

Gibson, the third active U.S.-born goaltender to reach that milestone, stopped 36 shots.

Jake Guentzel had a power-play goal in the second period for Tampa Bay. Nikita Kucherov picked up his 38th assist and 55th point, both fifth in the league.

Jonas Johansson made 22 saves. Tampa Bay has dropped at least three straight for the second time this season.

Vatrano — whose extension through the 2027-28 season will pay him $3 million in each of the next three seasons — redirected Jacob Trouba's shot past Johansson with 2:57 remaining in the first, giving the Ducks a 2-0 lead.

Vatrano, who has 11 goals and 23 points, scored into an empty-net goal with 1:32 remaining.

Lightning: Guentzel — who signed a seven-year contract during the offseason — scored his 21st goal, the most by any players on a new team this season.

Ducks: Forward Ryan Strome, who skated in his 200th career game as a Duck, had two assists, extending his point streak to five games (two goals, five assists).

Terry snapped a shot from the edge of the right faceoff circle, past Johansson's glove and just inside the post before ringing out to put the Ducks up 1-0 at the 5:24 mark of the first period.

Anaheim improved to 8-1-2 when leading after two periods. Tampa Bay is 2-9 when trailing after 40 minutes.

The teams have home games on Tuesday. The Lightning face Carolina and the Ducks take on Calgary.
