In the shootout, Mats Zuccarello put Minnesota up 1-0 but the Kraken responded with back-to-back shootout goals against Marc-Andre Fleury, the second coming from Jordan Eberle, who also had two goals in regulation. Kirill Kaprizov hit the post on his shootout attempt and Matt Boldy missed to end the game.

As the Wild practiced Friday at Tria Rink in St. Paul, Kraken players were scattered around the boards, walking around and working out. Once the Wild were done with the ice, they were going to have their own session in preparation for Saturday’s game at Xcel Energy Center.
