PITTSBURGH — Minnesota Wild forward Nick Bjugstad capped a frenzied five-minute rally against his former team on Saturday night, scoring the deciding goal in a shootout that came after the Minnesota Wild erased a two-goal deficit in the final five minutes of regulation to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4.

Bjugstad, who had 16 points in 45 games during parts of two seasons with Pittsburgh, beat Tristan Jarry with a wrist shot in the shootout.

“I hadn’t been on the ice in a little bit, so you don’t like to overhandle it,” Bjugstad said. “I saw an opening there. Thankfully, it went in.”

It was the sixth game-deciding shootout goal for Bjugstad, whom the Penguins traded to Minnesota in September 2020. Kirill Kaprizov and Kevin Fiala also scored in the shootout for the Wild, who won for the third time in five games.

“Enjoyed my time (in Pittsburgh), but definitely coming into this rink and getting the win the way we did … up to the last second, fighting back … it’s a fun one,” Bjugstad said.

The Wild pulled Cam Talbot and got a goal from Jared Spurgeon — his second of the game — with about 3:20 left in the third period. Ryan Hartman tied the game with 1.1 seconds to play in regulation after a net-mouth scramble. Kaprizov also scored in regulation and Talbot made 35 saves.

“I was just looking at the net,” Hartman said of the tying goal. “(And wanted to) hit something.”

Pittsburgh’s Kasperi Kapanen scored his first career hat trick in regulation, but he was stopped in the shootout.
