No one can accuse this Minnesota Wild team of being slow starters. Outscoring the Vegas Golden Knights by a combined 5-2 in the first frame; it’s one of the lone things the Wild have done very well in the series. Correcting the things they’ve been doing poorly seems like it would be a path to greater success. But if you ask star rookie forward Kirill Kaprizov, their strength as a team is key to winning Game 6 of their series against the Golden Knights.
“If we could get support from the fans right off the bat, so they’re not waiting, I think it would definitely help our game and help encourage us out on the ice,” Kaprizov said.
