ST. PAUL, Minn. — Elias Pettersson scored his 21st goal and fellow All-Star Jacob Markstrom stopped 23 shots in the Vancouver Canucks' 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday.

Devan Dubnyk made 26 saves, and Marcus Foligno scored for Minnesota. The Wild were held to 24 total shots after averaging 40 in their previous three games.

Wild Goaltending

Sunday night’s game in St. Paul between the Minnesota Wild and Calgary Flames featured a pair of milestones for its starting goaltenders. Plus, we will take a look back at the week that was in the world of National Hockey League goaltending. Rittich Makes Czech History The Flames became just the fifth team this season to score four game-tying goals in a game during their 5-4 shootout win over the Wild. Goaltender David Rittich made 30 saves in regulation and overtime, including stopping three one-timers during the Wild’s power play in the extra time. He allowed just one goal in the seven-round shootout that decided to game. The victory was the 53rd of Rittich’s career in his 100th game; the third-most for a Czech-born goaltender in league history. The only two netminders with more wins in 100 games were Roman Turek (58) and Roman Cechmanek (57). https://twitter.com/PR_NHL/status/1214026668660215808 To make the night even sweeter for Rittich, his personal...
