ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Wild defeated the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 on Monday night, with Matt Boldy scoring and assisting. Marc-Andre Fleury made 20 saves for the Wild, who have won eight of their last eleven games. Fleury has achieved double-digit victories for the 18th time in his career, matching him with Patrick Roy and Terry Sawchuk for second all-time behind Martin Brodeur (20).
For the Oilers, Connor McDavid assisted on Zach Hyman's goal, but his career-high seven-game goal-scoring run came to a stop. Edmonton's Stuart Skinner ended with 28 saves as the Oilers fell for the third time in nine games.
"They checked harder then, there were several opportunities across the goal line," Nurse recalled of the frenzied closing seconds. Minnesota conceded two power-play goals on three opportunities in a 5-2 defeat to Edmonton on Friday and sensed a surge was on the way.
"We were terrified to death. Like, terrified to death. You give Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl and the rest of their power play a chance... But the way we played that last minute or two was fantastic," Wild coach Dean Evason remarked. "Our dedication, grit, and willingness to get pucks and win puck fights was outstanding."
At 9:39 of the second period, Gaudreau, who was alone on the left wing, redirected Boldy's pass for a 2-1 lead. It happened a few minutes after a goal by Dumba was called back after Edmonton successfully protested that Minnesota was entering the zone while offside.
NICE COMPANY
Boldy had his sixth multipoint game of the season and 15th overall. Per NHL Stats, only Marian Gaborik (43) recorded more with the Wild before age 22.
APPRECIATE THE HELP
McDavid’s assist on Hyman’s goal gave him a league-best 30 assists. ... Wild RW Mats Zuccarello had an assist on Boldy’s goal and has 10 consecutive seasons with at least 20 assists.

Oilers: At Nashville on Tuesday night.
Wild: Home Wednesday against Detroit.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
