Winter Classic winners: Who won last season?
The Wild hosted the Blues in 2022 at Target Field in Minneapolis, home of the Minnesota Twins. It was the first time the Hockey State of Minnesota hosted a Winter Classic in the 16 years of the games existence.
The game was tight in the first period with goals by David Perron and Kirill Kaprizov to make it 1-1. The second period things got out of hand. St. Louis would go on to score five goals, four unanswered at one point. Jordan Kyrou had two of the goals and finished the game with four points. The Wild tried to make it a game in the third by scoring twice, but the Blues would go on to hold on 6-4.
