By Jake Judd Nov 2, 2026 | 7:26 AM

Detroit Lakes, MN (KDLM) – The Minnesota Wild scored three times in the third period to pull away from the Washington Capitals, winning 5-1 Sunday afternoon in D.C.

Quinn Hughes opened the scoring in the first period, and Michael McCarron followed with what proved to be the game-winning goal, giving Minnesota a 2-0 lead at the first intermission.

Justin Sourdif got the Capitals on the board in the second period to make it 2-1, but Washington wouldn’t get any closer.

Maxim Shabanov, Danila Yurov and Kirill Kaprizov all scored in the third. Yurov’s goal came on the power play, while Kaprizov’s went into an empty net. Bobby Brink and Joel Eriksson Ek each added two assists.

Minnesota went 2-for-5 on the power play and killed off Washington’s only chance with the man advantage. The Wild also held Capitals star Alex Ovechkin without a point and narrowly outshot Washington 29-27.

The Wild have won four of their last five games and improved to 10-3-3, which puts them first in the Central Division.

Minnesota continues its road trip Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. in Philadelphia.
