Devon Levi made 27 stops to earn the win in the Oilers’ net.
Wild: Kaprizov picked up an assist and his league-leading 11 goal to hit 17 points on the season, the second-most through 10 games in franchise history behind his own 21 in 2024-25.
The Oilers’ captain became just the sixth player in NHL history with 25 points before their 10th game in a season.
With 26 points, McDavid was already more than a quarter of the way to his 10th career 100-point season.
KEY MOMENT With the Wild serving a too-many-men penalty, Bouchard scored his seventh of the season on a bomb of a shot with 1:28 remaining in overtime.
