Carolina Hurricanes at Minnesota Wild
· National Hockey League1 - 2
Gustavsson makes 38 saves and Wild hang on to earn 2-1 win over Hurricanes
Yakov Trenin and Vinnie Hinostroza scored for Minnesota, which had been shut out 6-0 by the Senators and 3-0 by the Bruins in its previous two games.
Trenin scored the game's first goal 2:55 into the opening period when he took a pass from Marat Khusnutdinov and made a move to beat Hurricanes goalie Frederik Andersen.
Hinostroza scored 51 seconds into the third period, his first in a Wild uniform. The play was reviewed after initially being ruled no goal but was ultimately overturned. The puck slid under Andersen and just past the goal line.
Sebastian Aho scored for Carolina with 2:48 remaining in the game, spoiling a potential shutout for Gustavsson.
Trailing 1-0, Carolina had a chance to tie the game when rookie Jackson Blake was awarded a penalty shot midway through the second period. Blake couldn't get a good shot on Gustavsson, who easily made the save to his right.
Andersen made 22 saves for Carolina, losers of three straight.
Wild: Minnesota found its defense after allowing a total of nine goals over the past two games.
