Hartman himself would close things out with an empty-net goal 42 seconds after that to provide the final margin.
Deslauriers didn't figure into the final scoring on Kaprizov's goal, but his workmanlike shift before that set the tone.
"It's not just me on that, it's a line thing. A forecheck doesn't work with one guy, it's all three," Deslauriers said. "Our Ds were tight on that one, Jonny Merrill rimmed a puck and I just turned around and Hartzy was on there and just kept the puck in and changed. O-zone, I don't want to be there, I want Kirill to be there.
"But it's a line thing, we were disappointed on that one we let go as a line, that first one. But it's always fun to have a good shift and then the top guns come on and they score. It feels good, but it's not just a one man thing, it's a line there."
2. Fiala's still feelin' it
With the game scoreless early in the second period, it's no surprise the guys that would get the offense going for the Wild would be the line of Matt Boldy, Freddy Gaudreau and Kevin Fiala.
This line has been the best and most consistent grouping for a while now, and all three figured onto the scoresheet to get the party started in this one.
It looked like Gaudreau might be the one to pull the trigger on the shot, cruising down the left wing side, but as he neared the top of the circle, he fed a beauty of a pass to Fiala at the right hashes for a quick one-timer past a sprawled Thatcher Demko for a 1-0 lead.
