Heading into the first night of a back-to-back and wanting to forget what happened in Vegas, the Minnesota Wild came out strong in their first meeting of the year with the Arizona Coyotes, scoring early and pulling away late in a 5-1 victory at the Gila River Arena in Phoenix. Marcus Foligno extended his scoring streak with a pair of assists, while Kirill Kaprizov added another pair of apples and Brad Hunt scored his first goal of the season with the eventual game-winner. Goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen earned his sixth win in a row, stopping all but one of the Coyotes 25 shots.
