to win their home opener.

allowed all season by the Wild and
goalie Darcy Kuemper, who set the
club record for consecutive scoreless
minutes.
Perry then put the Ducks ahead
when Jason Zucker’s pass went off

straight to the former NHL goal-scoring champion, who eventually scored
his fifth goal in five games on a
rebound.
Zucker scored and Kuemper
stopped 24 shots for the Wild.
