Matt Boldy scored his third goal in two games for the Wild and added an assist. Marcus Foligno and Mats Zuccarello also scored and Filip Gustavsson stopped 29 shots. Kaprizov has two goals and three assists this series. Noah Hanifin and Tomas Hertl scored for the Golden Knights and Adin Hill made 12 saves.

Everything looked as if it was going according to plan. After calling a timeout, keeping goaltender Filip Gustavsson on the bench for an extra attacker, then strategizing, the Wild took the ice trailing by a goal and put themselves in position to net one.
