Wallstedt kept the game scoreless five minutes into the second period with a skate save on Jonathan Huberdeau’s breakaway. Minnesota then broke through after a crisp passing display set up Boldy alone in front of the net.
From deep in his own zone, Jared Spurgeon fired a long outlet to Eriksson Ek, who dropped it for Marcus Johansson just inside the blue line. Johansson hit Boldy, who ripped a forehand past Cooley with 6:13 left in the second.
After Minnesota killed off two power plays in the game’s final 10 minutes, Kaprizov scored into the empty net with 50 seconds to play.
