Marc-Andre Fleury achieved his 75th career shutout by stopping 16 shots, leading the Minnesota Wild to a 2-0 win against the Anaheim Ducks. This victory positioned Fleury 11th on the all-time NHL shutouts ranking, closely trailing behind Ed Belfour and Tony Esposito.
Minnesota's defensive lineup was pivotal in the game, successfully blocking 16 attempts on goal. Fleury praised his team's performance, expressing satisfaction with their defensive efforts and minimal opportunities allowed.
The scoring for the Wild was accomplished by Kirill Kaprizov and Zach Bogosian, propelling the team to triumph in five of their most recent six matches. Kaprizov netted his 34th goal for the season, assisted by Ryan Hartman.
On the other side, Lukas Dostal of the Ducks made 29 saves, but it wasn't enough to prevent the team's fourth loss in a row.
A goal attempt by the Ducks' Pavol Regenda was disallowed following a review that confirmed an offside situation, negating the score.
Next, the Ducks are set to play against Winnipeg on Friday, whereas the Wild will visit St. Louis on Saturday.
