It was all great Swedish efforts as Minnesota took its fourth straight victory. The team's Swedish goalie star Filip Gustavsson managed, according to NHL.com, to keep his 13th clean sheet in his NHL career – but several of his teammates also excelled.
Joel Eriksson Ek first played until the 1–0 goal and then himself pushed the extension to 2–0 in the power play.
Marcus Johansson then made it 3–0 via a pass from Jonas Brodin.
Pittsburgh is most recently coming off a doubleheader against Nashville in Stockholm.
