24 hours following his double in Minnesota’s 6-3 victory over Vancouver, Kevin Fiala did even better. He delivered five assists once morest Seattle for another 6-3 victory for the Wild.
In Saint-Paul, the Saint-Gallois signed his first five-point game in the NHL on the evening when the Wild picked up their 50th success of the season and where Kirill Kaprizov, with a goal and three assists, became the first player in the franchise to reach the 100 point plateau. Elected man of the match like the day before, Kevin Fiala has thus scored at least one point in a ninth game in a row. His record for this series, which began on April 3 once morest St. Louis, is almost maddening: 9 goals and 12 assists.
‘I don’t think I’ve ever had five assists in a game. I had the impression tonight that everything I touched turned into gold, underlines Kevin Fiala who now has 82 points. It really was a very special night for me.’ He became the first player in the franchise to sign such a performance.
This Sunday, Kevin Fiala and the Wild, who will face St. Louis in the first round of the play-offs, travel to Nashville with the ambition of picking up a fifth success in a row. The opportunity for Kevin Fiala to close a little more the gap which separates him from Roman Josi for the title of best Swiss scorer in the NHL. The Predators captain’s 7-point mattress seems very comfortable. But with this devil of Kevin Fiala, you don’t have to swear to anything anymore.
