Jonas Brodin scored the tying goal for the Wild in the first period and Kirill Kaprizov added a late empty-netter. Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson made 23 saves.
Artemi Panarin scored the Rangers’ first goal on home ice this season 57 seconds into the contest as New York avoided matching the 1928-29 Pittsburgh Pirates for the longest scoreless streak on home ice to start a season. Igor Shesterkin stopped 29 shots as the Rangers fell to 0-4-0 at home.
