The Minnesota Wild's four-game winning streak ended with a 2-0 shutout loss to the Vancouver Canucks. The game saw several lead changes, with the Wild initially trailing 1-0 before goals from Boldy and Eriksson Ek put them ahead 2-1, only for McDavid to tie the game 2-2. Dewar then scored to give the Wild a 3-2 lead, but Draisaitl tied it on an Oilers power play, resulting in a 3-3 tie after the second period. Despite being outshot 32-12, the Wild managed to maintain the lead. The game ended with the Canucks securing a 2-0 victory, marking the Wild's second straight loss and potentially losing a top defenseman.
#MNWild lose second straight game, and maybe a top defenseman. @PioneerPress https://t.co/7bSdquj1q8 https://t.co/GpUhgAmS4t

#mnwild being outshot 28-10 and up 3-2
Dewar makes it 3-2 Wild. The Oilers were running around a bit and out of position defensively. That's three goals on 11 shots for Minnesota.
Dewar one-timer. It's 3-2 #mnwild.
Back to back goals from Boldy & Eriksson Ek https://t.co/QJ7Wk00Qcr
Connor McDavid waits out Fleury and scores another beaut https://t.co/2jVa3jreEl
1:11 seconds into the 2nd period and there are goals from Boldy, Eriksson Ek, and McDavid
McDavid gets around Middleton and outwaits Fleury. Oilers tie it up. 2-2.
Connor McDavid answers right back for the Oilers, eluding a sliding Marc-Andre Fleury before dumping the puck into the vacant net. 2-2
Eriksson Ek and Boldy goals 26 seconds apart, but McDavid just came right back down and made it, 2-2...Pulled Fleury out of the net and casually backhanded the puck inside the post
And then Joel Eriksson Ek makes it 2-1 Wild at 41 seconds of the second period.
Now Boldy sets up Joel Eriksson Ek with a one-timer. 2-1 #mnwild
Welp, Boldy scored 15 minutes into this second period. 1-1. #mnwild
Oliver Ekman-Larsson ties the game, poking in an Anton Lundell rebound with 2:56 to go in the second. This happened a few seconds after the power play expired, so this will be an even strength goal. 1-1.
