POSTCAST: Wild Begin 2024-25 with a 3-2 win over Columbus

Locked On Wild - Your Daily Minnesota Wild Podcast

The Minnesota Wild started the 2024-25 season with a 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets in Dean Evason's return to the Xcel Energy Center. Matt Boldy got the scoring started on a no look shot in the first to give the Wild the early 1-0 lead. After the Blue Jackets tied the score thanks to a goal from Kent Johnson, the Blue Jackets thought they had the go ahead goal but it was waved off for Goaltender Interference. Joel Eriksson Ek scored to give the Wild a 2-1 lead after 2 periods. In the third, Mats Zuccarello scored on the Power Play to make it 3-1. Zach Werenski scored on the Power Play to make it 3-2, but the Blue Jackets could not get any closer despite a flurry of shots in the final minute. Filip Gustavsson stopped 30 of 32 shots in the win. The Wild host Seattle on Saturday for their next game.
