Minnesota Wild at Columbus Blue Jackets
· National Hockey LeagueKaprizov logs a goal and an assist and Gustavsson makes 23 saves as the Wild beats Blue Jackets 3-1
Marco Rossi scored his third goal of the season 12:40 into the game when he picked up a Jackets turnover in the slot and beat goalie Daniil Tarasov.
Kaprizov tallied on a third-period power play and Mats Zuccarello added another goal later in the third when he slipped a puck past Tarasov's blocker.
Yegor Chinakhov scored for the Blue Jackets with 1:25 left in the game and Tarasov, playing for the injured Elvis Merzlikins, had 32 stops for the Blue Jackets.
Blue Jackets: Although Columbus had been prolific scoring goals as of late, they couldn't get anything past Gustavsson until the game was nearly out of reach. The injury bug that took such a big bite last season has already claimed forwards Boone Jenner and Kent Johnson, Erik Gudbranson, and starting goalie Merzlikins.
MIN wins series 2-0
