Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Boldy both collected one goal and one assist, and Filip Gustavsson recorded his second career shutout as the visiting Minnesota Wild claimed a 3-0 victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday.

Marcus Foligno also scored for the Wild, who have won four straight games and are on an 8-0-1 roll. Gustavsson made 31 saves for his second shutout of the campaign.

Jacob Markstrom stopped 30 shots for the Flames, who have dropped five straight games and have just two wins in their last 10 outings (2-5-3).

Eriksson Ek’s 22nd goal of the season opened the scoring with 5:08 remaining in the first period. Seconds after Jon Merrill rang a shot off the post during an offensive flurry, Boldy sent a point shot that both Marcus Johansson and Eriksson Ek deflected into the cage.

Foligno doubled the lead when he snapped an 18-game drought with 6:11 remaining in regulation.

Frederick Gaudreau’s shot from the slot deflected up and onto the top of the net before bouncing back to the crowd of players near the crease. Foligno was on the spot to bat the puck into the net for his fifth goal of the season.

Boldy notched his 17th of the season three minutes later to round out the scoring. Eriksson Ek slipped a pass to the slot for Boldy to convert and snap a 15-game drought.

The Flames were blanked for the second time this season and finished a three-game homestand with only four goals.

Thanks to his club’s ability to stifle Calgary’s offensive players, Gustavsson had a relatively easy night between the pipes. His biggest stop was a glove save on Tyler Toffoli’s short-handed breakaway in the middle of the third period.
