The Wild beat their Central Division rival in regulation for only the third time in 16 games since the Blues won the Stanley Cup in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues, who lost defenseman Robert Bortuzzo to injury after he blocked a shot with the side of his face in the first period, didn\u2019t score on Wild goalie Marc-Andre Fleury until Jordan Kyrou\u2019s rebound midway through the second on a power play.<\/p>\n<p>Vladimir Tarasenko had a goal and an assist for the Blues, who host Game 3 in St. Louis on Friday night.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Kirill-Kaprizov.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Kirill Kaprizov scores his third goal on Ville Husso during the Wild's 6-2 Game 2 win over the Blues.\" class=\"wp-image-22147438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Kirill-Kaprizov.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Kirill-Kaprizov.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Kirill-Kaprizov.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Kirill-Kaprizov.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Kirill Kaprizov scores his third goal on Ville Husso during the Wild\u2019s 6-2 Game 2 win over the Blues.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Eriksson Ek assisted on Kaprizov\u2019s first goal, a much-needed score on the power play that gave the Wild a 3-0 lead late in the first period.<\/p>\n<p>Kaprizov, the precocious Russian star who set franchise records this season with 47 goals and 108 points, made it 5-2 with a slick tap-in of Mats Zuccarello\u2019s pass on the rush. He added an empty-netter with 7:08 left after the Blues pulled goalie Ville Husso in their last-ditch effort.<\/p>\n<p>In between Kaprizov\u2019s scores, Eriksson Ek thought he had a hat trick himself. So did the dozens who tossed their caps on the ice, but a Blues challenge for offside erased that goal.<\/p>\n<p>Eriksson Ek, the 2015 first-round draft pick from Sweden who was a Selke award finalist last summer for the NHL\u2019s best defensive forward, has elevated his offense in a big way during this first season of the eight-year, $42 million contract he signed last summer.<\/p>\n<p>Eriksson Ek broke Husso\u2019s scoreless streak at 69:33 when he scored on Minnesota\u2019s first on-target shot. After Bortuzzo\u2019s stick broke on a clearing attempt, Jordan Greenway grabbed the puck and \u2014 passing it right past the defenseless Bortuzzo \u2014 fed Eriksson Ek on the sweet spot of his stick for the one-timer.<\/p>\n<p>The Wild kept the same power-play lineup after their Game 1 struggle, and Gaudreau delivered on the first opportunity. After Justin Faulk was called for high-sticking, Husso left a juicy rebound of Jonas Brodin\u2019s slap shot out front that Gaudreau knocked in.<\/p>\n<p>Near the end of the first period, with Faulk in the penalty box again for slashing, Bortuzzo either stumbled forward or intentionally went low for the block \u2014 and had Eriksson Ek\u2019s slap shot painfully ping off his face. Bortuzzo left the ice im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely and did not return.<\/p>\n<p>A little later on that power play, Eriksson Ek\u2019s redirect resulted in a rebound that Kaprizov tipped off the post. With Kevin Fiala crashing hard to the net, Husso couldn\u2019t stop the puck from sliding past the goal line.<\/p>\n<p>Then, just 51 seconds into the second period, Eriksson Ek gave the Wild a 4-0 lead. He stole a sloppy pass from Tarasenko that was supposed to go to Calle Rosen and deked Husso with a forehand-to-backhand dangle to poke the puck in for a glove-side goal.<\/p>\n<p>The Wild were exasperated by their special teams struggles in Game 1. Though they didn\u2019t stop taking avoidable penalties \u2014 giving the Blues three power plays in the second period \u2014 they killed four of them and did a much better job of controlling the rebounds Fleury kicked out.<\/p>\n<p>Fleury made 32 saves for his 91st postseason win, his first with the Wild. The Xcel Energy Center crowd, which was buzzing all night, took a break from taunting Husso with a serenade of Fleury\u2019s last name late in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Bortuzzo\u2019s departure left the Blues awfully thin on the blue line. Nick Leddy was scratched with an upper-body injury he sustained but played through in Game 1. Marco Scandella has not played in the series due to a lower-body injury.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
