ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Thomas Greiss made 33 saves while extending Pittsburgh's shutout streak to 205 minutes and 28 seconds, guiding the Penguins to a 4-1 victory Tuesday over Minnesota that handed the Wild their first defeat in six home games.

Nick Spaling, Brandon Sutter and Chris Kunitz scored for the Penguins, whose run of unanswered goals also ended at 18 when Nino Niederreiter got one on a breakaway for the Wild with 9:18 left. Rob Scuderi had two assists for the Penguins, who won their fifth straight game. Their margin of victory is a whopping 22-5.

The Wild were the last team in the NHL to lose at home this season. They nearly pulled within one with 3:05 remaining when Mikko Koivu's rebound shot slipped past Greiss, but the goal was waved off and the call was upheld by replay review due to goaltender interference on Mikael Granlund.

Patric Hornqvist added an empty-netter to seal it for the Penguins, who were outshot 34-22. The Wild have outshot every opponent this season. All but one team they've faced made the playoffs last season.
