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-
