Sometimes a hot goalie makes all the difference. Unfortunately for the Minnesota Wild, that hot goalie was was netminder Marc-Andre Fleury, who made highlight save after highlight save to backstop the Vegas Golden Knights to a 5-1 victory, earning their West division foes another crucial two points and handing Minnesota their first series sweep of the season. Marcus Foligno continued his hot streak and ruined Fleury’s shutout bid with a second-period score, but slow period starts and odd-man rushes doomed the Wild, despite generating 37 shots and multiple high-quality chances that couldn’t quite find the back of the net.
