ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Wild have won three in a row, but that's not the longest win streak around these parts.
After fending off 35 shots for the first shutout of his NHL career, Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson was almost airtight again on Wednesday to help the Wild dump the Red Wings, 4-1, in front of 18,324 at Xcel Energy Center and secure a career-high fifth consecutive victory.
Gustavsson stopped 16 shots after blanking the Canucks, 3-0, last Saturday and improved to 6-1-1 in his last eight games during his first season as the team's backup.
