In a historic NHL game, the Minnesota Wild secured a 10-7 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, marking a rare occurrence in the league's history. The game was notable for its high scoring, with a total of 17 goals scored between the two teams, including 9 goals in the third period alone. This game was distinguished by the achievement of three hat tricks, accomplished by J.T. Miller, Kirill Kaprizov, and Joel Eriksson Ek. This feat has not been seen in an NHL game since November 8, 1992, when the Kings beat the San Jose Sharks with hat tricks from Luc Robitaille, Jari Kurri, and Mike Donnelly. The Wild's remarkable comeback included scoring 7 goals in the third period, a feat that contributed to their historic win.
