Jared Spurgeon and Marat Khusnutdinov scored in the first period, Filip Gustavsson stopped 31 shots, and the Minnesota Wild beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1 on Wednesday night. Marcus Foligno added an empty-netter in the final minute as Minnesota won its second straight to improve to 3-5-0 in their last eight games.
It feels like forever ago that goaltender Filip Gustavsson was a Vezina Trophy contender. Suddenly, the Wild don’t know which player is going to show up between the pipes on a nightly basis.
