The Minnesota Wild keep winning on the road. Ryan Hartman and Danila Yurov scored two goals each and Jesper Wallstedt stopped 29 shots as Minnesota beat the Boston Bruins 6-2 on Saturday night at TD Garden, stretching the club's road winning streak to eight games.
Quinn Hughes and Blake Coleman scored 67 seconds apart early in the second period to break the game open. Hartman opened the scoring in the first period and added a second goal in the middle frame, his first multi-goal game of the season. Yurov scored both of his goals in the third period, the second into an empty net.
Kirill Kaprizov extended his point streak to 11 games with two assists. The Wild have earned at least a point in 11 consecutive games (9-0-2) and own the NHL's best record in road games with their 10th victory away from home. Minnesota leads the Western Conference.
The game also marked the season debut of defenseman Brock Faber, who returned from a skull fracture suffered in the preseason. Faber had a second-period assist and skated more than 24 minutes in his first game back.
David Pastrnak and Fraser Minten scored for Boston, which lost its second straight home game after winning seven in a row at TD Garden. The Bruins have now allowed 11 goals over their last two games, including five in a Thursday loss to Montreal.
The Wild won the first meeting between the teams 4-1 at home on Oct. 3. The two clubs entered the night tied for the NHL's second-best goal differential (plus-24) behind Carolina.
Minnesota (15-3-4, 34 points) returns home Tuesday to host the Nashville Predators (11-4-5) in a matchup of the top two teams in the Central Division. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m., and the Wild will debut their black "Hometown Remix" jerseys in the game.
