Kirill Kaprizov scored in the final minute of overtime to lift the Minnesota Wild to a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night in Saint Paul, Minn.

Frederick Gaudreau and Jake Middleton also scored for Minnesota, which won its fourth straight game, with the last two coming in overtime.

Quinn Hughes and Jake DeBrusk each scored for Vancouver, which picked up one point for reaching overtime. Each of the Canucks’ last three games have gone to overtime; Vancouver won the first two.

Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson stopped 30 of 32 shots to earn the victory. Kevin Lankinen turned aside 26 of 29 shots for Vancouver.

Kaprizov scored the winning goal on a two-on-one rush into the offensive zone. Marco Rossi carried the puck across the blue line and fed a pass to Kaprizov, who ripped a one-timer from the right circle into the net for his team-leading 16th goal of the season.

Vancouver opened the scoring on the power play with 11:23 remaining in the first period. Hughes fired a rising wrist shot through traffic for his sixth goal of the season and the second in his past four games.

Minnesota pulled even at 1-1 with 12:04 to go in the second period. Gaudreau scored on an odd-man rush for his fifth goal of the season.

The Canucks regained the edge in the final minute of the second period. Carson Soucy long shot from the point was blocked before it reached the crease, but Elias Pettersson spotted the loose puck in the slot and shuffled a pass to DeBrusk, who buried a shot for his 11th goal. He also has five goals in his last three games, including a hat trick on Sunday.

The Wild quickly regrouped to tie the score at 2-2 with 18:17 remaining in the third period. Middleton stopped a Vancouver clearing attempt, turned to his forehand and scored from the left circle to pick up his fifth goal.

Vancouver finished 1-for-3 on the power play. Minnesota went 0-for-1.
