Mats Zuccarello had six shots on goal, but did not get on the scoresheet as the Minnesota Wild won 1-0 over the Edmonton Oilers.
The Norwegian’s team had made the trip across the border to Alberta in Canada before the away game on the night of Wednesday Norwegian time. He got 18 minutes and 45 seconds on the ice.
Sweden’s Jonas Brodin scored the game’s only goal 13.11 minutes into the 1st period.
The Minnesota Wild are in third place in the Central division.
The 23-year-old Swede Jesper Wallstedt impressed again in the cage of the Minnesota Wild. Wallstedt contributed with 33 saves, and for the fourth time in six games he kept a clean sheet. Wallstedt has shut out five of the ten games the Minnesota Wild have won this season, according to NHL.com.
Before tonight’s game, Wallstedt was named the NHL’s best young player for November. Then the Minnesota Wild won six games in a row, and there have been points in the last 12 matches. (NTB)
