The Wild made their win over the Canucks a perfect 10, setting the team record for goals

ST. PAUL, Minn. — When the Minnesota Wild faced their second three-goal deficit of the second period, boos were audible from a home crowd that was well on the way to emptying out early for this holiday matinee.

Patience was rewarded for these fans, because the third period turned into a party — complete with two hat showers on the ice in a record-filled 10-7 win by the Wild over the NHL -leading Vancouver Canucks.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been a part of something like that where they just kept going in, one after another,” said Matt Boldy, who had a goal and three assists.

The scoring binge the league has been on the last few seasons spread to Minnesota, with hat tricks for Joel Eriksson Ek and Kirill Kaprizov in a six-point game for each player that matched Marian Gaborik’s franchise mark. The Wild became the third team in the NHL this season to hit the 10-goal mark, following the Canucks (Nov. 2) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (Nov. 4).

Here were the other statistical marvels Monday at Xcel Energy Center:

— Canucks center J.T. Miller had a hat trick himself. His third goal gave the Canucks a 5-2 lead with 5:30 left in the second period. This was the first regular season game in the NHL with three hat tricks since Nov. 8, 1992, when Mike Donnelly, Luc Robitaille and Jari Kurri all had three goals for the Los Angeles Kings in an 11-4 win over the San Jose Sharks.

— The Wild beat their franchise mark for goals in a game by two and also set their record for goals in a period by scoring seven times in the third. That was the most in a period by any NHL team since the Washington Capitals had eight in the second in a 10-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Feb. 3, 1999.

— Kaprizov had all three of his goals and one assist in the third period,…
