ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Wild hit some turbulence this week with an injury to leading scorer Kirill Kaprizov that will keep the superstar left wing out for at least three to four weeks. The Wild might need to catch a few more rides on the “Gus Bus” in the meantime. Goalie Filip Gustavsson has a shutout streak of 170 minutes, 45 seconds that’s the third-longest in franchise history. He has become a fan favorite in his first season in Minnesota and one of the NHL’s most unexpected breakout players. Gustavsson is second in the league in goals against average and save percentage.
