ST. PAUL — There were a lot of records broken in the Minnesota Wild's crazy 10-7 win over the Vancouver Canucks inside Xcel Energy Center on Monday afternoon. The Wild improved to 9-3-1 since Jan. 15 and 5-0-1 since the break.
• The Wild set a franchise record in goals (10). Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek scored hat tricks, while Matt Boldy, Mats Zuccarello, Marco Rossi and Jonas Brodin each scored a goal on Monday. The previous franchise record was eight.
• The Wild scored seven times in the third period, which also set a franchise record for most goals in a period. The Capitals are the last team to score more than seven goals in a single period. The Capitals scored eight goals against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Feb. 3, 1999.
In what coach John Hynes said was a “up and down game,” Matt Boldy said the Wild's seven-goal third was “nuts,” and Ryan Hartman described the chaotic final frame as “very stressful, but fun.”
• The Wild scored six goals in five minutes and 45 seconds between Zuccarello's goal in the final minute of the middle frame and the first five goals in the third period. That is a franchise record and is also the fourth fastest six-goal sequence in NHL history. The Canadiens (4:24), Capitals (5:02) and Penguins (5:02) are above the Wild.
• The Wild scored four times in two minutes and 17 seconds during the third period. That is the fastest four goals scored in Wild history. The previous high was set on March 6, 2018 when the Wild scored four times in 3:28.
• The 17 combined goals in Monday's game is the most in a single game in Wild history with the previous being 13.
• Both Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek had a career high six-point game, and the duo also tied the franchise record for most points in a game. Only Marian Gaborik recorded six points in a game before in Wild history, and he did it twice.
• With 10 goals on 27 shots, the Wild set a franchise record for the highest shooting percentage in a game at 37 percent.
That is also the best single-game shooting percentage by any team with 25 shots or more in the NHL since the start of the 2000-01 campaign.
