ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Wild and Oilers are about to become very familiar foes and if the start of their season series is any indication, these matchups will have no shortage of star power.
With all three delivering highlight-reel goals, the battle between Kirill Kaprizov and Edmonton's dynamic duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl lived up to the hype in a 5-3 showdown that the Wild won on Thursday in front of 17,651 at Xcel Energy Center in the first of three clashes in 12 days between these Western Conference rivals.
Kaprizov kept his career-long point and assist streaks going with three points, while McDavid and Draisaitl picked up a goal and assist each.
