Kirill Kaprizov gave the Wild a 1-0 lead at 1:51 of the second period, putting in his own rebound on a power play for his 30th goal of the season, and fourth in two games.

An apparent Minnesota goal by Jacob Lucchini at 6:59 was overturned after Arizona successfully challenged that the play was offside. 

The teams combined for three goals in 39 seconds in the third period. 

Keller tied it 1-1 at 1:21 on a power play. Nick Schmaltz’s shot from the right point deflected off Arizona forward Barrett Hayton, and right to Keller along the goal line.

Carcone scored seven seconds later at 1:28 to put Arizona up 2-1 with a wrist shot inside the far post following Jack McBain’s face-off win at center ice.

“Unfortunately, they got a couple of bounces there and got a couple of goals, and then it’s uphill, but we managed to get out of it pretty quick, and then it was good,” Zuccarello said. “We gave them some odd-man rushes [after that], but [Fleury] stood tall and kept us in the game.”

The two goals were the fastest ever scored against the Wild in succession. They gave up two in eight seconds in a 6-1 loss to the Nashville Predators on Jan. 29.

“Seven seconds?” Fleury said. “That’s pretty quick. But I liked that nobody panicked. You just deal with it. After that, we got a couple of quick goals. I liked how we didn’t overthink it.”
