Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson allowed four goals on 26 shots to fall to 25-15-4.

Kyrou made it 3-0 with his first goal of the evening with 7:38 left in the second period.

The Blues grabbed a 4-1 lead on Kyrou’s second goal of the evening. He carried the puck into the offensive zone, skated behind the net and stuffed in a wraparound shot to secure a three-goal lead with 8:30 to go in the third period.

Kyrou put a punctuation mark on his performance with an empty-net goal with 2:20 remaining. He turned to his forehand and pushed a shot past a Wild defender for his third goal of the night and his 27th of the season.
