Kevin Fiala is animated by a real state of grace at the end of the season. Author of a double on Tuesday against Edmonton on Tuesday, the Saint-Gallois did it again on Thursday in Dallas.
Fiala notched his 27th and 28th goals of the season in Minnesota’s 3-2 win. The decision fell in extra time thanks to a goal from Frederick Gaudreau, who had delivered 2 assists to Fiala.
Josi and the Preds in the hard
The Saint-Gallois opened the scoring in the 3rd minute before signing the 2-1 in the 32nd for his first success of the season in numerical inferiority. Author now of 67 points, the winger will be one of the Wild’s key assets during the play-offs. After this 3rd victory in a row, Minnesota’s qualification for the final series is practically assured.
That of Nashville remains uncertain. The Predators lost 4-0 on their own ice to Edmonton, carried by the hat-trick of Leon Draisaitl. Roman Josi and his teammates have only a 2-point margin on the bar while they still have to play 8 games before the conclusion of the regular season on April 30.
