It was somewhat expected that after playing with a reduced lineup due to some late injuries and losing to the Wild 3-2 in a shootout that Minnesota would face a very motivated Vegas Golden Knights squad.\u00a0 That was evident right from the puck drop as the pace of play was extremely fast as the Golden Knights were trying to use their tremendous team speed to try to put Minnesota on its heels.\u00a0 At certain points, you could definitely say the Golden Knights had Minnesota scrambling about its own zone.\u00a0 Cam Talbot<\/strong> certainly had to keep his head on a swivel as shots were being taken from all over the offensive zone.<\/p>\n

Vegas would break the stalemate off the rush when Tomas Nosek<\/strong> sort of redirected a shot on goal that fluttered by Talbot to give the Golden Knights a 1-0 lead.\u00a0 This would finally get the Wild moving its feet and going on the attack themselves.\u00a0 The line of Victor Rask<\/strong>, Nick Bonino<\/strong> and Kevin Fiala<\/strong> caused some havoc by swarming down near the Vegas goal but Marc-Andre Fleury<\/strong> was up to the task to stop Rask’s rebound chance from near the top of the crease.\u00a0 Physical play was also evident as the Golden Knights were finishing checks with regularity and trying to agitate the Wild’s star players like Fiala and Kirill Kaprizov<\/strong> whenever the opportunity presented itself.\u00a0 The Wild and Golden Knights continued to share chances throughout the period but Minnesota would go into the 1st intermission trailing 1-0.<\/p>\n

The game continued to be fast paced with plenty of chirping after the whistle as Fiala seemed to be in a personal war with Vegas’ Jonathan Marchessault<\/strong>.\u00a0 Marchessault repeatedly kept barking at Fiala after shifts as though trying to goad Fiala as it was clear it was part of the Golden Knights to try to get into the head of the Wild’s star talent.\u00a0 The Golden Knights continued to push the pace offensively causing Minnesota’s defense to scramble but they had some close calls as Marchessault ripped a shot that was deflected up and over the net by Talbot.\u00a0 Minnesota had some promising opportunities of their own, the best coming off the stick of Marcus Johansson<\/strong> who tried to jam one home but Fleury would cover it up for a whistle.\u00a0 Yet as the period ended, Fiala continued to chirp at Marchessault, Alex Pietrangelo<\/strong> and any other Vegas Golden Knight that was nearby.<\/p>\n

Minnesota would try to put those distractions behind them and they’d go to work on trying to tie the game.\u00a0 A power play would finally give them an opportunity to light the lamp and with a little persistence the Wild moved their way in close and it was Kaprizov tapped home a pretty diagonal pass by Joel Eriksson Ek<\/strong> to tie the game.\u00a0 With Vegas still a bit stunned from Kaprizov’s goal, the Wild would take the lead as Eriksson Ek would bang home his own rebound after receiving a pass from Jordan Greenway<\/strong> to give Minnesota a 2-1 lead to a stunned 3,900+ at T-Mobile Arena.\u00a0 The next few minutes, the Wild locked things down, forcing the Golden Knights to settle for shots from the perimeter while giving Vegas very little in terms of time and space.\u00a0 You could see how frustrated the Golden Knights were in the closing minutes as Mark Stone<\/strong> was chirping after the play, annoyed at the team that just wouldn’t go away.\u00a0 The Wild continued to block shots and disrupt passes and not giving up almost any free ice to Vegas.\u00a0 Talbot was again brilliant down the stretch, staying calm with Golden Knights forwards crashing the crease with regularity but he was able to come up with the stops to give Minnesota a 2-1 victory.\u00a0 He had 27 saves in the win.<\/p>\n

Kevin Fiala Heating Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watching the games as I have this season, most of the time I have opted to watch the opposing broadcast.\u00a0 The recent transition to horrid display that is Bally Sports<\/em> certainly has made that choice pretty easy, but the main reason I do this is to hear an outside perspective on the team.\u00a0 I think its healthy to step out of the Minnesota Wild echo chamber once in a while.<\/p>\n

While a lot of those broadcasts focus their attention and discussion on Kirill Kaprizov, more and more are now noticing just how impressive Kevin Fiala is.\u00a0 The player called a ‘gamebreaker’ by former Wild General Manager Paul Fenton<\/strong> shortly after the team traded fan favorite Mikael Granlund<\/strong> for him, may wish he has more than the 10 goals he has currently, but it ignores the many things the young Swiss-born forward does for the team.\u00a0 When Fenton made that declaration, Fiala initially struggled causing people to question that assessment.\u00a0 But as we have learned with lots of Fenton’s moves during his time as the club’s general manager he probably deserves more credit for being the savvy eye for talent that he is.<\/p>\n

The ‘gamebreaker’ is becoming more than just a goal scorer, as he is showing himself to be an all situations player as he’s being used more and more on the penalty kill as his speed and lower body strength help make him a pesky defender.\u00a0 He is also showing himself to be a deft playmaker, using the fact he’s always a threat to shoot to open up passing lanes to set up teammates.<\/p>\n

Fiala said after last year’s playoffs he has tried to work on staying calm after he admitted he got frustrated in the Wild’s series against the Vancouver Canucks.\u00a0 I am sure this year has tested that new resolve as he’s had to endure a revolving door of linemates as the team has tried to establish some chemistry throughout the season but more recently he seems to be settling in and making the best of it.<\/p>\n

As much discussion as there has been about the Minnesota Wild’s next deal to Kaprizov, an equally challenging situation will be what the team offers the Fiala.\u00a0 No doubt it will be significantly more than the $3 million per season he’s making currently.\u00a0 My guess is he ends up with a contract that will pay him closer to $6 million per season but his contract is one of many that Wild General Manager Bill Guerin<\/strong> will have to deal with this summer.<\/p>\n

Iowa 4, Texas 0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Iowa Wild have had their share of struggles in Texas but they may be on their way to turning that around.\u00a0 Texas really poured it on early in the game, peppering Hunter Jones<\/strong> with shots but the former Peterborough Petes’ star looked calm and collected as he kept Iowa in the game.\u00a0 Iowa was only able to create a few chances, but for the most part they kept Texas to the perimeter of the ice.<\/p>\n

In the 2nd period, Iowa would break the stalemate as Mason Shaw<\/strong> pounced on a rebound off a Gabriel Dumont<\/strong> shot to give the Wild a 1-0 lead.\u00a0 Iowa continued to attack and Calen Addison<\/strong> stepped into a slap shot that blazed by Colton Point<\/strong> to give the Wild a 2-0 advantage prior to the 5-minute mark of the period.\u00a0 Iowa continued to dictate the pace of play and Jones continued to provide a sense of security with solid play between the pipes.<\/p>\n

In the 3rd period, the Stars tried to change things up between the pipes by swapping out point for Tomas Sholl<\/strong> but it didn’t matter.\u00a0 Iowa would extend its lead as Connor Dewar<\/strong> would score his 8th goal of the season off a nice pass from Mitchell Chaffee<\/strong>.\u00a0 Iowa would then add another goal a few minutes later as Jarrett Burton<\/strong> scored on a nice setup by Bryce Misley<\/strong> for his first professional point.\u00a0 The Stars still couldn’t solve Jones and their frustration boiled over as they started to take runs at Wild rookies that drew the ire of veterans and the last few minutes saw a few fights.\u00a0 For example the Stars tried to grind Damien Giroux<\/strong> into board dust which caused Mitch McLain<\/strong> to step in to defend the youngster.\u00a0 Or when they tried go headhunting on Addison, it was Mason Shaw, all 5’8″ of him going toe-to-toe with Texas’ Riley Tufte<\/strong> and all 6’6″ of him.\u00a0 The team continued to circle the wagons around its goalie and its young players and they’d roll to a 4-0 victory.\u00a0 Jones had 36 saves in the win.<\/p>\n

Wild Prospect Report<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

C – Andrei Svetlakov<\/strong> (CSKA Moscow, KHL) ~ The 4th line center had an assist on 1 shot on goal, and went 4-for-9 on his draws in CSKA Moscow’s 3-0 win over arch-rival SKA St. Petersburg on Friday.\u00a0 They lead the KHL semi-final series 1-0.\u00a0 Svetlakov has a goal, 3 points, 4 PIM’s and is a +1 in 12 playoff games.<\/p>\n
