Mats Zuccarello and Kevin Fiala both scored in the shootout, lifting the Minnesota Wild to a 6-5 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.

Matt Boldy scored twice in regulation, and Zuccarello, Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek also had goals to help Minnesota sweep the season series. Cam Talbot made 29 saves and stopped Jakub Vrana and Dylan Larkin in the shootout to seal the Wild’s second straight win.

“We were up and down, but it was a very emotional game,” Minnesota coach Dean Evason said. “There’s a lot of intensity now, which is probably a good thing right now. We need to be that intense right now for us to play the way that we want to play.”
