ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Vladimir Tarasenko scored the go-ahead goal in the second period, Matt Boldy had a goal and an assist, and the Minnesota Wild twice benefited from replay reviews in a 5-2 victory over the skidding Seattle Kraken. Marcus Johansson also had a goal and an assist for the Wild, who won their fourth straight game. Marcus Foligno scored the tying goal early in the second, and Joel Eriksson Ek added an empty-net goal and two assists.

Minnesota trails Dallas by two points for second place in the Central Division and Western Conference heading into their showdown Thursday in Texas. Each team has four games remaining before they square off in a first-round playoff series, with home-ice advantage still up for grabs.

Brandon Montour and Adam Larsson scored in the first period for Seattle, which has lost six in a row.
