Brock Faber finally got to experience what the Wild are all about.

In Faber’s return from a skull fracture, the Wild kept rolling, running away from the Bruins, 6-2, on Saturday night at TD Garden to sweep their second straight road trip.

Not only are the Wild on an 11-game point streak (9-0-2), but they’ve won eight in a row as the visitor. That’s the second-longest streak in franchise history; in 2014-15, the Wild rattled off 12 consecutive road victories.

Ryan Hartman scored twice, Quinn Hughes had a goal and assist, and Kirill Kaprizov assisted on two goals.

Hughes and Kaprizov extended their point streaks to 11 games to break the franchise record for the longest simultaneous runs by two teammates.

After Hartman gave the Wild a 1-0 lead for an 11th straight game, Hughes and Blake Coleman scored 1:07 apart in the second period.

Boston answered back on the power play, but the Wild responded 1:15 later on a highlight-reel finish by Hartman set up by Kaprizov and Hughes.

The Wild had another quick reply to the Bruins’ second goal in the third period: Coach John Hynes called a timeout, and Danila Yurov buried a 3-on-1 pass on the very next shift to halt Boston’s rally. Yurov added an empty-netter for his second career two-goal game.

Jesper Wallstedt made 30 saves on his 24th birthday, improving his NHL-best record to 14-2-3.

Faber, who was playing in his first game since getting hit in the head with a puck Sept. 25 in the preseason, skated 24:29, was a game-high plus-4, picked up an assist and rejoined the power play and penalty kill while reuniting with Hughes after initially starting with Jonas Brodin.

He and the Wild (15-3-4) will return to Minnesota tied with Carolina for first place in the NHL.
