Two-game skid reminds #mnwild there is still plenty of work ahead, plus Brodin/Kane news. @PioneerPress https://t.co/Xmhy4Qa6Op
Hearing #mnwild defenseman Jonas Brodin is going to miss significant time with an upper-body injury. For the short term, Wild can insert Alex Goligoski or Zach Bogosian (if he’s healthy) back into the lineup, but this may open door for Daemon Hunt to return at some point

With 2-1-3 tonight the @EdmontonOilers Evan Bouchard moved into a tie for 3rd place in NHL defence scoring with 27 points (7-20-27). https://t.co/nWiclvgCkq
The @EdmontonOilers win their sixth straight. Won the special teams battle: PP: 2/4 PK: 2/2 Bouchard 2-1-3, now on a 10-game point streak (4-11-15). RNH 4 assists McDavid 1-1-2, on an 8-game point streak (5-16-21) Outshot the Wild 40-20. Got the win.
That’s six straight wins for the Oilers. They hold on to beat the Wild 4-3.
#mnwild lose for only the fifth time in their last 22 visits to Edmonton. Game turned on what should have been an Evander Kane penalty that injured Jonas Brodin, one of the Wild’s top defensemen.
Reckless hit by Evander Kane -- boarding by most standards -- has knocked Brodin out of the game in third period. Hartman's retaliation draws a penalty, and Evan Bouchard scores to make it 4-3 early in third. That leads still stands. #mnwild
Evan Bouchard scores his second goal of the game on a power play. Wild forward Ryan Hartman was off for roughing Evander Kane in retaliation for Kane hitting Jonas Brodin from behind. 4-3 Oilers.
Evan Bouchard's second goal of the game, this one on the power play, make sit 4-3 Oilers. #mnwild were on the penalty kill after Ryan Hartman was whistled for roughing Evander Kane, who previously crunched Jonas Brodin into the boards.
Spurgeon doesn't get the puck out and Evan Bouchard hammers it home for a 4-3 lead....
Evander Kane drives Jonas Brodin between the numbers into the end boards and he leaves the game injured. Then Ryan Hartman goes after his old pal Kane and takes a penalty
First Johansson turnover, McDavid whistles one wide. The Wild get it deep and Johansson throws an errant puck out of the zone. Middleton went down to block RNH, but ultimately Bouchard made it 1-0 on Edmonton's 14th shot of the period
Bouchard absolutely rips a shot high glove from the faceoff dot. 1-0 Oilers.
Evan Bouchard with the rising shot after the #mnwild get scrambly in their own zone. 1-0 Oilers
