Matt Boldy has 2nd hat trick of season to help Wild beat Maple Leafs, 5-2
TORONTO (AP) --- Matt Boldy completed his second hat trick of the season and
the sixth of his career early in the third period and the Minnesota Wild sent
the Toronto Maple Leafs to a fifth straight regulation home loss with a 5-2
victory Thursday night.
Boldy's third goal of the night came after Maple Leafs winger William Nylander
and defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson got their wires crossed off the rush to
open a clear lane for the Wild winger.
Michael McCarron and Danila Yurov, into an empty net, also scored for Minnesota
(14-3-4), which got 26 saves from Jesper Wallstedt. Kirill Kaprizov had three
assists, and Yurov added an assist for a two-point night.
The Maple Leafs (8-11-2) have lost the first of five contests of what has
turned into a disastrous six-game homestand to move to 1-7-0 over their last
eight.
The Wild improved to 8-0-2 over their last 10 since last losing in regulation
to the Calgary Flames on Oct. 22.
Up next
Wild: At Boston on Saturday night.
Maple Leafs: Host Edmonton on Saturday night.
