Minnesota's Swedes stayed ahead when the team visited Edmonton.
Joel Eriksson Ek picked up the puck at the rim in a powerplay situation in the first period, and managed to complicate the puck behind Mikko Koskinen in the Edmonton goal.
A few minutes later, the 24-year-old center was involved in the preparations for an attack that meant 2-0.
The assist he was rewarded with means that for the second time in his NHL career he accounted for double points in two games in a row, when he also accounted for two assists in the penalty win against Toronto this weekend.
Jonas Brodin got two assists, one of them when he played beautifully until Victor Rask, who scored his fourth goal of the season.
Minnesota won 4-1, the team's seventh victory in a row.
