Kirill Kaprizov scored the winning goal with 9.7 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Minnesota Wild to a 3-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday evening in Saint Paul, Minn.

Mats Zuccarello set up the game-winner and finished with two assists for Minnesota, which won for the fourth time in its past five games. Joel Eriksson Ek and Yakov Trenin added one goal apiece.

Pavel Dorofeyev and Reilly Smith each scored a goal for Vegas, which finished with one win and one loss on its two-game road trip. Mitch Marner was among four players to tally an assist.

Kaprizov notched the decisive goal on a hard-angle shot from the right side of the crease. Zuccarello spotted him open and fired a hard pass in his direction, and Kaprizov did the rest with a hard, low shot.

The play sealed a victory for Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson, who stopped 23 of 25 shots.

Golden Knights goaltender Carl Lindbom turned aside 24 of 27 shots.

Minnesota opened the scoring 4:49 into the first period. Zuccarello turned down a shot and instead zipped a cross-ice pass to Eriksson Ek, who guided a one-timer into the net from the left circle.

Eriksson Ek immediately pointed toward Zuccarello as a thank you for setting him up for the goal.

Vegas evened the score at one-all on a power-play goal with 4:46 remaining in the first period. Dorofeyev punched in a rebound for his 11th goal, seven of which have come on the man advantage.

The Wild regained a 2-1 lead on Trenin’s first goal of the season with 10:55 to play in the second period. He pushed a puck toward the crease, and it deflected off a Vegas defender and into the net.

The Golden Knights fought back with another power-play goal to even the score at two-all. Smith fired a pinpoint wrist shot from the top of the left circle past Gustavsson’s glove side.
