ST. PAUL, Minn. — Kirill Kaprizov had a goal and an assist, and Filip Gustavsson made 19 saves for the Minnesota Wild in a 3-0 win against the Montreal Canadiens at Xcel Energy Center on Thursday.

The shutout was Gustavsson’s first of the season and his seventh in the NHL.

Matt Boldy and Marco Rossi scored for Minnesota (11-2-3), which has won six of its past eight.

Sam Montembeault made 25 saves for Montreal (5-10-2), which has lost seven of eight.

Boldy gave the Wild a 1-0 lead at 12:43 of the second period with his 10th goal of the season. Kaprizov found Marcus Johansson in the low slot, and he redirected the puck to Boldy for a one-timer off the crossbar.

Canadiens defenseman Jayden Struble was assessed a four-minute high-sticking minor on Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon at 8:22 of the third period.

Rossi made it 2-0 with four seconds left on the power play at 12:19 with a wrist shot through traffic after faking a shot and moving inside.

With Montembeault pulled for the extra attacker, Kaprizov scored into the empty net at 19:40 for the 3-0 final.

Minnesota forwards Mats Zuccarello and Joel Eriksson Ek each left during the first period with lower-body injuries. Zuccarello took a Brock Faber shot to the stomach at 12:52. It was undetermined which play Eriksson Ek was injured on as he exited toward the end of the period.
