Matt Boldy has 5th career hat trick and Wild beat Blues 5-4

Minnesota Wild forward Matt Boldy made history with his fifth career hat trick, leading his team to a hard-fought 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Blues in their season opener.

Boldy’s three goals proved decisive as the Wild overcame a tough challenge from Blues goaltender Joel Hofer, who faced relentless pressure from star forward Kirill Kaprizov. The game saw back-and-forth action, including a key goal from Blues center Mason McTavish in the second period, but Minnesota’s resilience ultimately secured the win.

Teammates like Danila Yurov and Bobby Brink also contributed to the offensive effort, while Blues defenders like Jonatan Berggren struggled to contain the Wild’s offensive surge.
