The stingy Kings and their almost unbeatable goaltender didn’t fare as expected against an ice-cold Wild offense. After ending Darcy Kuemper’s shutout streak, the Wild kept chipping away for a 3-1 rally over Los Angeles on Monday night at Xcel Energy Center and only their second victory in their past six games.

Zuccarello got a pass from Matt Boldy in the left circle, settled the puck and fired it past Kuemper with Marco Rossi screening the goalie to give Minnesota a 2-1 lead. It was hist 100th goal since signing with the Wild in 2019. Johansson added an empty-netter with 56 seconds left to seal the win.
