Marc-Andre Fleury gets 75th shutout as Wild defeat Ducks

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all 17 shots he faced, and the Minnesota Wild held on for a 2-0 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night in Saint Paul, Minn.

Zach Bogosian and Kirill Kaprizov scored one goal apiece for the Wild, who improved to 5-0-1 in their past six games. Minnesota has not lost in regulation since March 2.

Anaheim was shut out for the seventh time this season and the first time since Feb. 13. The Ducks dropped their fourth consecutive game and fell to 1-5-0 in their last six.

Fleury made seven saves in the first period, two in the second period and seven in the third period to secure his second shutout of the season and the 75th of his career. He won his 560th career game, which trails only Martin Brodeur (691) for most in NHL history.

Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal took the loss despite turning aside 29 of 31 shots. He fell to 10-18-1 on the season.

The Wild opened the scoring with 5:16 remaining in the first period. Bogosian fired a one-timer from above the right circle near the blue line, and the puck deflected off a Ducks player and found its way into the back of the net.

The play marked Bogosian's third goal of the season and the 60th of his career. The defense-minded veteran has tallied double-digit goals only once in 16 NHL seasons.

Minnesota made it 2-0 at the 2:17 mark of the second period. Ryan Hartman carried the puck toward the net and zipped a pass to Kaprizov, who quickly punched it in for his team-leading 34th goal.

Kaprizov scored for the third game in a row and the fifth game in his last six. In those six games, he has tallied eight goals and three assists.

Minnesota went 0-for-2 on the power play. Anaheim finished 0-for-1.

The Wild pulled even with the Ducks with one win apiece in their first two meetings of the season. They will play for a third and final time on Tuesday in Anaheim.
