Wild vs. Oilers | NHL Highlights | December 02, 2025
Brian Njan Hopkins. Well, with him back, all the
Oilers did. Two of two on the power play. Six for six on the penalty kill. Njan Hopkins starts
the game with a faceoff win. And Edmonson. Here’s Erikson. Actually, good chance on the
slide. Shouldered away by Steuart Skinner. Tough early test. Now McDavid breaks in, but his
backhand ditches and a save made. Bolstead had time to get over and stop by Ty Emerson. I mean,
that’s the body getting in front of that one. Good stick by Spurgeon. They’re also missing
a young player they like by the name of Denila Yurov who’s been playing at times first line
center for Minnesota. Here’s Curtis Lazar back door and a quick shot sharp angle and a save
made on 52 and two thus far at Rogers place. Wilder 64 and one. Meanwhile on the road, Mousard
Nackle. A shot flutters into the waiting glove of Holstead. Another battle one. This one by
Middleton. Tren got pulled over. A quick shot taken by Frederick. Then glanced out. Held in by
Kulak at the point who lifts off the short glass. Minnesota’s approval of Shark. And he got off to
a slow start this year as well. Regul steps up and shoots and a save made by Volstead and Cabris
off leads the Wild with seven power play goals. He and Dry subtle tied for second in the league.
Takes a chunk rebound. Couple of whacks at it for Ericson. The puck stays out. Killed off some time
on his own there. Here’s Jared Spurgeon hitting the line with a quick shot. Terraenko not much on
it. He did keep it in against Regula. Terasenko sixtime 30 goal scorer had it patted down by
Regula. Rebound Rock Fab through Lzar fed back to the point. Spurge and Terraasenko Spurgeon a
wrist shot and that was deflected wide. Rebound Terraenko spent last year in Detroit. Scored just
11 goals for the Favor. One-time Spurgeon and that was towed aside by Skinner. Rebound Terasenko.
10 seconds on the power play. Minnesota trying to break the scoreless tie. Terraenkco loads and
fires. Save made by Skinner. Rebound front court controlled and cleared by Raola from the mammoth
and a blast by Broaddin off the draw beats Skinner glove side and Minnesota takes a one nothing lead
with dry cidle and McDavid on the ice. Offensive zone face off one cleanly back and he just ripped
this one. It’s just he steps into it. I mean, this one comes directly back to him and he just
lets this one go. It’s Sterm with the win. He wins this one cleanly. Dribbles right back. I
don’t think it tips. Maybe a tiny screen in the high slot, but it’s because he just blasts this
one through. We’ll take a look. Fly by screen in the high slot. That’s exactly what it is.
Get to turn 20. He’ll do so on Sunday. Still just 19. Losing sight of the puck was Frederick.
Here’s Caprium. Sharp angle and a save made by Skinner on Minnesota’s number 97. Hard rim up the
right hand side in case you’re wondering. Yeah, Capri off also a 2015 pick. First shot off the
rush dry tied up at center hook with Ericson turned over now. Spurge will jump up. Threeon two
Minnesota. John Ericson had a save and no rebound issued by Steuart Skinner. Then Baldi’s gone on
a heater that cold the outlet. Evan move short. Boilers looking for the equalizer. Snap shot. Nan
Hopkins save. Ball step gets a little help stick in the lane. Turnover as that one’s scooped up by
Skinner on the wrist off the faceoff on it. Well built momentum from there. Here’s a steel Jopkins.
A shot thwarted by Hartman. A blast by Kulak and that’s snared by Yesper Volstead. And for a team
that was the last one in last year, you started thinking, oh, is this it for this indoctrination
of Minnesota Wild players? Are they going to break it up? Minnesota beginning of a four game trip
Calgary Thursday and then on to Vancouver and Seattle. Here’s Nico Stone feeding the slot. At
practice by my partner yesterday, thought it was a new player. Here’s Nan Hopkins. Shot that was
fought off by false. Best chance in a while for Ev newly shorn facial hair crossed up by partner.
He’s got three different looks. He shaved the beard early on left the stash. Shaved the stash
and now he’s got the clean look. Looks 10 years younger. Nurse well his clean look like all of
what about 20 minutes. He’s got the heaviest beard in the league. Regula Dryson loads and fires. Easy
save for ball step. Here’s Ekle using a screen from Seavoy. Booard to Conor McDavid. Beautiful
drag move to the net. Back door redirected and then a save on Seavoy as Wall shrugs that one off
with the shoulder. Here’s McDavid looking back door as Seavoy was wide open. I think Heyman
trying to kick that one to a stick that goes through. I think Seavoy’s right there looking at
him tickle the rafters. probably gets a pretty good look, but Volstad was right there. Louie and
the Wild Five have been out there for a minute 10. Dry Sutter wins the faceoff. So, let’s see how
Minnesota handles this. Booart to Dry. Saucered over to Ecom. Loads and fires one off the post.
Echo blast. He walks in. If you’re allowed to walk into the dot, why not give it a try? And that’s
exactly what he does. Time down to 55 seconds. Finally rolls out to Booard. Now McDavid dry in
front backer Iman stopped rebound McDavid put it into an area out to Booard blast and a save made
nine to go in the second one- nothing Minnesota ball able to deny Zack Hyman can’t freeze it Bark
Nan Hopkins Bard dry sideman in the slot to save Walstead rebound available and finally ripped down
the right hand side by Joe Hansen. Minnesota will get the long change. Edmonton changes it up minus
this man Conor McDavid. He’s staying out for the full two minutes. Weaves to his left. Thumbled
by Spurgeon. Chance for a clear. Fails. Nurse. Knocked it down just inside the blue line looking
for Henry. Seavoy. Snapped it out. Had fires and that stayed out. Continues to dig in. Another
chance. Pagosian. Here’s a shot the same made by Stuart Skinner on Buyos. Cycle disrupted
by Tyler Pitlick who of course broke in with Edmonton as their 31st pick back in 2010. Shot
by Nurse. Edmonton dominant in the faceoff circle better than 70% tonight. Dry subtle wins another
one. E McDavid and Hyman getting a shift. Five on five. Dry subtle. A stop made by Boston and
another penalty earned in front as Heyman kind of soccered away by Hartman. And now a giveaway.
Seavoy against Spurgeon inside to Henry to the net as held his ground. Rebound advanced through
by Buo and now to the middle. Erikson couldn’t get a shot away. Bosian a good zone keep steps up
now. Shoots save. Rebound available and the Oilers able to come up with it and now Double has got a
step. By back against Majapani who wired one off the shoulder of Valstead and out of play from
Bousard double teamed in the corner. Faber and Trenan watching closely now. Majapan shot on net
kicked it away on passion. Shot through the blue paint. Carried it off the corner boards out to the
Goian. Now a chance for Zukarella. Point blank and a save up near the clavicle made by Skinner. He’ll
squeeze it to hug that post. Little for checking here by Hartman. And Zukarella never really looks
at Skinner. So he’s looking at Capri off the whole time selling pass. The Wild are a minus 10 in the
third. That’s the third worst goal differential in the league. Counted on net byard. A block made
by Hartman. He’s shaken up. Gets back up. Another shot squeezed by Ballad. Quiet tonight in terms
of puck touches. Well, Edmonton’s played a strong defensive game and we haven’t talked about that
enough. New Hopkins the snapshot off the rush and a save made by Volstead. He had both Daddle and
McDavid behind him on that little pinch in the neutral zone. He had to make that play. Dry subtle
McDavid out there with Coulson. A shot and Cole winds it around. Dry subtle gives way to McDavid
falling back his favor conservatively. Dry settle beautiful look but closing one. Booard and a kick
save in. Ball step. Adam Henry wedges one behind the Minnesota net. Grabbed it back trying to sneak
it through. Ballstead Hopkins line out with Seavoy and Heyman turned over at center. Johansson on the
counter. Wrist shot into the waiting midsection of Stewart Skinner. Apparently, it was the effects
mike that fell into the bench there they were laughing about. Here’s Baldi bulldozing his way
in and I think he’s drawn a penalty on nurse for a hole is the power play. They weren’t really
amounting to a whole lot but the power play gave them some life and Baldi who as you mentioned
hasn’t had a ton of chances in this one. Good stick right there to bobble this puck in the
air and then as he’s trying to stay with it. That’s why he’s quarterback in the top unit by the
way. And Merrick and that in front and a one touch from Capri got through to Skinner. Power play
24% coming in. A shot deflected save. Skinner rebound of the blue paint. Hacking and whacking
and Skinner spllayed out from Kulak. Emerson was in there too. Here it is. Erikson X’s a big
human. Bounces right off of him. As he comes down, he kind of shoves the path of Skinner. That would
have been an interesting review for me. If you watch his stick, he goes right into the pad,
lands on him. I don’t know if that would have been able to count, but he was shoved. Sorry.
That’s a pretty good shot by Emerson that puts him in there. And then Zukarella was stopped by
Skinner. Did Zukarella try to head that one? He did. Chipped off the left hand side. You got up
above you. Capri off in front just wide. Davis looking for Heyman takes the puck in trying to
beat the point. Here’s Booard breaking loose down low back here and that was stopped by Vol. The
right players on the ice. Here’s a great little tow drag right here by Bousard that threads this
one through for Heyman. That’s a couple chances back to center, but that’s all. Bousard will move
it to dry subtle. Play is on side. Faber with a chance to eat it. He’ll take it in the corner
and the horn goes and Minnesota has survived one-

Let's just have Wallstedt pitch shutouts four out of every six games the rest of the way. Seems like the Wild would at least make the playoffs:)
Sucks we lost but at least it was a good game
Jesper has 4 shutouts in his last 6 games
7 straight wins in 7 straight starts 🤷♂️
Wallstadt is leading the Calder race by a wide margin right now and should be top of Vezina conversations. He’s been unbelievable
Imagine finally getting a decent start out of your goalie just to get shut out by a guy you could have drafted. Par for the course in Edmonton.
Hard to blame skinner for this one.
Vally World.
This was a great game all oilers after the first. I love seeing Wally dominate
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Wally has been nuts
Ok soiler fans you can't blame the goalie this time… shutout my Minnesota ha! Cheapshot and mccrybaby no points! Great effort Wild!
IT WAS A WILD WIN
I love watching the oilers lose
A great illustration of how a goaltender can win a game.
Thank goodness FREE REBOUND Gustaavsson was not in the net!
The Oilers should've probably just drafted that guy.
Thank you Wallstedt for giving me 13.6 points in fantasy last night. Best pickup so far!
Молодчики зеленые, хорошо сыграли в обороне! Вратарь хорош!
After 19 picks in that 2021 draft, no team had selected the young Swede Goalie. But instead of grabbing him, the Oilers traded the 20th pick in the draft to the Wild for the 22nd and 90th overall picks. Who did this its no wonder Edmonton cant win when you have people who know nothing about hockey.
Вратарь Минисоты Огнище…
