Eriksson Ek, Boldy helped Minnesota to beat Arizona.

Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Boldy each notched and assisted, Marc-Andre Fleury made 25 saves, and the Minnesota Wild won against the Arizona Coyotes 3-1 at Mullett Arena in Tempe, AZ.

Jonas Brodin also notched for Minnesota, as the franchise has won 4 straight matches and 7 of their last 9 games. The wild goaltender got his 554th career victory.

Kirill Kaprizov finished with an assist, and Minnesota’s top line of Eriksson El, Boldy, and Kaprizov have had 7 goals and 10 assists in the last 3 matches.

“The amazing thing to observe is that they are competing to the identity that you have to be on the ice with,” Minnesota manager John Hynes revealed. “Our players are playing with hard skill. When the chances present themselves to score, they can convert them. They are tough to contain. They are working as a trio. Each player is doing their role.”

Arizona attacker Logan Cooley broke Fleury’s bid for his 75th career shutout when he notched to make it 2-1 in the 3rd period. Still, despite that, Coyotes have been defeated in 7 consecutive games in the NHL.
