Kaprizov scores on late OT power play to left Wild past Golden Knights, 3-2

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Kirill Kaprizov scored on a one-timer from the right side on a power play at 4:50 of overtime to give the Minnesota Wild a 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday night.

With Shea Theodore off for hooking Matt Boldy near center ice on a call that angered Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy, Kaprizov took a feed from Mats Zuccarello and beat Carl Lindbom between the pads for his 11th goal of the season.

Joel Eriksson Ek and Yakov Trenin also scored and Filip Gustavsson made 23 saves to help Minnesota win for the fourth time in five games. On Saturday night, backup goalie Jesper Wallstedt had his second straight 2-0 victory in a home win over Anaheim.

Pavel Dorofeyev and Reilly Smith had power-play goals for Vegas, with Smith tying it at 2 at 6:35 of the third with a wrist shot from top of left circle. Lindbom stopped 24 shots.

The Golden Knights ended a four-game losing streak Saturday night with a 4-1 victory in St. Louis.

Eriksson Ek opened the scoring at 4:49 of the first period, beating the out-of-position Lindbom with a quick shot from the left side.

Dorofeyev tied it with his power-play goal with 4:46 left in the first. He beat Gustavsson off a rebound for his 11th goal.

Trenin gave the Wild the lead at 9:05 of the second with his first goal of the season. His centering hack from the side of net got past Lindbom.

GENEVA (AP) — The U.N.'s humanitarian aid coordination office is downsizing its appeal for annual funding in 2026 after support this year, mostly from Western governments, plunged to the lowest level in a decade.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Monday it was seeking $33 billion to help some 135 million people cope with fallout from wars, climate disasters, earthquakes, epidemics and food shortages. This year, it took in $15 billion, the lowest level in a decade.

The office says next year it wants more than $4.1 billion to reach 3 million people in Palestinian areas, another $2.9 billion for Sudan — home to the world's largest displacement crisis — and $2.8 billion for a regional plan around Syria.

“In 2025, hunger surged. Food budgets were slashed — even as famines hit parts of Sudan and Gaza. Health systems broke apart," said OCHA chief Tom Fletcher. "Disease outbreaks spiked. Millions went without essential food, healthcare and protection. Programs to protect women and girls were slashed, hundreds of aid organizations shut."

The U.N. aid coordinator sought $47 billion for this year and aimed to help 190 million people worldwide. Because of the lower support, it and humanitarian partners reached 25 million fewer people this year than in 2024.

“I know budgets are tight right now. Families everywhere are under strain," Fletcher said. “But the world spent $2.7 trillion on defense last year – on guns and arms. And I’m asking for just over 1% of that.”

He has called for “radical transformation” of aid by reducing bureaucracy, boosting efficiency and giving more power to local groups. Fletcher cited “very practical, constructive conversations” almost daily with the Trump administration.

“Do I want to shame the world into responding? Absolutely," Fletcher said. "But I also want to channel this sense of determination and anger that we have as humanitarians, that we will carry on delivering with what we get.”
