Marcus Foligno had two goals, and Kirill Kaprizov and Calen Addison each had a goal and an assist. Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Dumba each had two assists.

The Jets suffered their largest margin of defeat this season, and also had a new season high in goals surrendered.

Minnesota was 2-for-5 on power-play chances, as Boldy and Kaprizov both scored with the extra attacker. The Jets have had one of the NHL's best penalty-kill units this season, yet they suffered a breakdown against a Wild team that was 0-for-14 on the power play in their previous five games.

Boldy ended a personal five-game point drought.

Kaprizov has nine points (three goals, six assists) over a seven-game point streak.
