ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Kirill Kaprizov broke the franchise career goals record with 220, Mats Zuccarello, Brock Faber and Quinn Hughes each had a goal and assist and the Minnesota Wild beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-1 Tuesday night.

Kaprizov’s empty-netter, a backhander from center ice for his 35th of the season, pushed him past Marian Gaborik for the most in Wild history.

Yakov Trenin also scored to help Minnesota end a two-game slide and continue its home dominance of Tampa Bay. The Wild are 16-3-0 at home against the Lightning.

Matt Boldy added a season-high three assists, extending his points streak to a career-high-tying 10 games. Filip Gustavsson stopped 26 shots, improving to 5-1-0 in his past six starts.

Opening a four-game road trip, Tampa Bay got a goal from Nikita Kucherov but lost its third straight game after a 20-1-1 stretch. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 17 saves.

Hughes also scored in the third period, resulting in a brief “U-S-A! U-S-A-!" chant for the member of the recent gold-medal winning squad.

Trenin scored a fluky goal at 17:10 of the second period for a 3-1 Minnesota lead.

Losing the puck as he tried to split a pair of defenders in the Lightning zone, Trenin finished his drive to the net and capitalized when Vasilevskiy struggled to cover the slow sliding puck.

Just over two minutes earlier, Kucherov completed a pretty passing play with Brayden Point and Jake Guentzel to get Tampa Bay on the board.

Faber scored less than four minutes into the game for a 1-0 lead. Zuccarello made it 2-0 with a 4-on-3 power-play goal early in the second period, the eighth straight game Minnesota has scored with the man advantage.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Pavel Buchnevich scored late in the third period and the St. Louis Blues snapped a 10-game road losing streak by beating the Minnesota Wild 3-1 on Sunday.

Logan Mailloux and Alexey Toropchenko also scored for St. Louis, and Joel Hofer stopped 22 shots.

Kirill Kaprizov scored to tie Marian Gaborik for the most goals in Wild franchise history with 218. Filip Gustavsson made 21 saves, but Minnesota lost its second straight after six straight wins. The Wild lost 5-2 Friday in Utah.

It was the first time in 42 games this season that Minnesota lost when allowing three or fewer goals in regulation.

With the game tied at 1, Buchnevich scored with 3:39 remaining. He took a backhand pass from Jimmy Snuggerud and beat Gustavsson with a wrist shot from near the right dot, extending his scoring streak to five games.

Buchnevich, who scored the Blues’ lone goal in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to New Jersey, is tied with Jordan Kyrou and Jake Neighbours for the team lead with 14 goals.

Toropchenko added an empty-net goal.

In Minnesota’s first home game after the Olympic break, Kaprizov broke a scoreless tie late in the second period, tipping in a pass from Matt Boldy for a power-play goal. His sixth goal in seven games was his 34th goal of the season and 218th in a Wild sweater. He has played in 122 fewer games than Gaborik.

Mailloux tied it when he beat Gustavsson with a wrist shot from the top of the right less than two minutes later for his first goal in 25 games.

Robert Thomas had an assist on the goal in his first action since Jan. 10. The top-line center and team’s second-leading scorer missed 13 games with a lower-body injury and a minor leg procedure. Robby Fabbri was placed on waivers.

Minnesota left wing Marcus Foligno missed the game with a lower-body injury. Coach John Hynes said before the game if Foligno is day to day or could be sidelined long term.

Blues: At Seattle on Wednesday.

Wild: Host Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
