Canucks 1, Wild 0
SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Jake Virtanen scored his second goal in as many games in the third period as Vancouver closed a long road trip on a high note, beating Minnesota.
Virtanen’s initial shot was blocked by Minnesota defenseman Jared Spurgeon, but the Vancouver top-line right winger gathered his own rebound and snapped a wrist shot just inside the far post to end a defensive battle in just the second home game of the season for Minnesota.
The Canucks got 29 saves from goalie Anders Nilsson, who has two shutouts in three starts this season. The Wild got 24 saves from goalie Devan Dubnyk, but were blanked for the first time this season.
