Kirill Kaprizov scored at 3:02 of overtime during a delayed penalty to lift the Minnesota Wild to a 4-3 win against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night in Saint Paul, Minn.

Kaprizov had a goal and two assists, Mats Zuccarello had two goals and an assist, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 23 saves for the Wild, who had given up 20 goals through their first three games — all losses.

Nils Aman had a goal and an assist for his first NHL points, Dakota Joshua also had a goal and an assist, and Thatcher Demko made 33 saves for the Canucks, who are the NHL’s lone winless team.

Zuccarello scored his first goal of the game at 4:37 of the first period to give the Wild a 1-0 lead, their first lead of the season.

The puck came out of the corner to Zuccarello on the opposite side and he scored on a one-timer.

The lead lasted just 3:21, however, as Bo Horvat scored at 7:58 to tie it 1-1.

Horvat passed the puck to Tanner Pearson on his right as he crossed the Minnesota blue line and Pearson centered a pass back to Horvat, who redirected the puck into the net.

Aman, a sixth-round pick of the Colorado Avalanche in 2020 who was playing in his fifth NHL game, scored at 16:47 to give Vancouver a 2-1 lead.

Joshua brought the puck into the Minnesota zone with his back to the net and made a backhanded pass to Aman coming down the right wing. He skated in close before pushing the puck into the net.

Sam Steel scored with one minute left in the first period to tie the score 2-2.

Kaprizov brought the into the Vancouver zone along the left boards and centered to Steel coming down the middle and he scored on a one-timer.

Joshua gave Vancouver a 3-2 lead at 13:37 of the second.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson’s point shot was saved by Fleury, but Joshua was in position to score the rebound.

Zuccarello chipped in a pass from Kaprizov at the side of the net while on a power play to tie it 3-3 at 8:31 of the third period.
