Game Recap: Hurricanes 4, Wild 3

Key Players and Highlights

Jackson Blake and Sean Walker each recorded a goal and an assist, helping the Carolina Hurricanes secure a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild at Lenovo Center on Thursday. Andrei Svechnikov and Nikolaj Ehlers also scored, while Frederik Andersen made 21 saves for the Hurricanes (9-4-0), who have now won two consecutive games and three of their last four.

“Blake is probably the one who needs the most credit for tonight,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “The one goal was all him, and the other was just a great pass.”

Wild’s Performance

Matt Boldy tallied two goals for the Wild (5-7-3), who entered the game on a two-game winning streak. Filip Gustavsson stopped 23 shots in net.

“They’re a high-pressure team. There were times I thought we handled it well, and there were times when there was another good team on the ice too,” Minnesota coach John Hynes said. “We got some looks in different segments of the game.”

Notable Moments

Boldy opened the scoring at 5:34 of the first period by tapping in a loose puck after Hurricanes forward Mark Jankowski accidentally slipped it under Andersen in the slot.
The game featured an intense 4-on-4 stretch with three goals scored in just 52 seconds.

Summary

The Hurricanes edged out the Wild with strong contributions from Blake and Walker, maintaining momentum with their third win in four games, while Boldy’s two goals kept Minnesota competitive throughout.
