The Wild's long-suffering skid against the Blues finally took a break.
After dropping five straight to their Central Division rival and seven in a row at St. Louis — not including the playoffs — the Wild threw the Blues a 5-2 curveball on Saturday at Enterprise Center to close out 2022 on an 8-2 run.
Ryan Hartman scored twice off puck-handling gaffes by St. Louis goalie Jordan Binnington for his eighth career multi-goal effort, while Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 29 shots in consecutive starts for the first time since Dec. 7-9.
