(St. Paul, MN) — Matt Boldy scored his fifth career hat trick as the Wild slipped past the Blues 5-4 on Thursday night. Boldy’s third, fourth and fifth of the season came in a four point night as the top line rescued a battered Wild line up that was missing seven regular players. Kirill Kaprizov had a three points night, including his league leading ninth goal of the season plus Joel Eriksson Ek had a pair of assists. In all, the trio accounted for eight points and 16 shots. Danila Yurov scored the other Wild goal. Jesper Wallstedt made 20 saves in the win. The Wild are 3-0 on home ice and 5-2-1 overall. They host the Blue Jackets on Sunday starting at 5 P-M from Grand Casino Arena.
