ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Pierre-Marc Bouchard’s spin-o-rama tally highlighted a three-goal, third-period outburst for the Minnesota Wild in a 4-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
Martin Havlat, Kyle Brodziak and Jared Spurgeon also scored for Minnesota, which has beaten Edmonton 15 straight times at home. That ties the Nashville Predators’ home dominance of the Columbus Blue Jackets for the longest current streak in the NHL, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Niklas Backstrom stopped 20 shots to improve his home record against Edmonton to 14-0, the longest current home streak by a goalie against one team. He is 17-2-1 overall against the Oilers.
Kurtis Foster scored for Edmonton, which lost for the first time in four games.
