Jason Zucker had a goal and an assist and Alex Stalock had 26 saves as the Minnesota Wild completed a season sweep of the Pacific Division leading Vegas Golden Knights with a 4-2 victory on Friday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Charlie Coyle, Matt Dumba and Zach Parise also scored goals for Minnesota, which became the first team to defeat the expansion Golden Knights three times this season. The Wild (40-24-7, 87 points) also extended their third-place lead in the Central Division to three points over Colorado and Dallas.

Erik Haula scored his 28th goal of the season and Ryan Carpenter also scored and Marc-Andre Fleury had 26 saves for Vegas (45-21-5, 95) which dropped its fourth straight home game and saw its division lead shrink to eight points over the San Jose Sharks. The Golden Knights, still a Pacific Division best 24-9-2 at home, have been outscored 21-10 during the losing streak including an 8-3 loss to New Jersey on Wednesday, the worst home loss in franchise history.

Zucker, who grew up just minutes away from T-Mobile Arena and is the only Nevada-raised player to play in the NHL, started the scoring at the 7:19 mark of the first period, poking the puck away from defenseman Shea Theodore in the corner to Nino Niederreiter who passed it back to Zucker cutting to the left side of the net where he fired a shot that glanced off Fleury's mask and into the net

The Wild extended its lead to 3-0 with a pair of goals just 1:43 apart in the second period. Coyle got the first when he backhanded a rebound of a Matt Cullen shot over Fleury's right shoulder. Dumba followed with his first goal in 18 games, tapping in Zucker's pass from behind the net over Fleury's right shoulder.

Haula cut it to 3-1 when he slapped a crossing pass from David Perron past Stalock's stick side with 6:31 left. The Golden Knight's pulled Fleury with 3:05 remaining and Carpenter tapped in a rebound of a Perron shot with 55.3 left to make it 3-2, but Parise sealed it with an empty-netter 22 seconds later.

Fleury -- starting his eighth straight game and for the 19th time in the last 20 games for Vegas -- lost back-to-back games in regulation for the first time this season.
