EDMONTON - Jesper Wallstedt made 33 saves to record his fourth shutout of the season in just 10 games as the Minnesota Wild carried their torrid pace from last month into December, emerging with a 1-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.

The Oilers (11-11-5) have lost five of their last seven. Stuart Skinner recorded 23 stops for the Oilers.

Oilers: It was a bad night for Edmonton streaks as well, as forward Leon Draisaitl had his points streak halted at eight games, with five goals and eight assists during that span.
Key moment
Minnesota got the game鈥檚 only goal with seven minutes remaining in the opening period as Skinner whiffed with his glove hand on a point blast from Brodin off the draw, his third of the season.
