Kevin Fiala Replaces Mats Zuccarello On Top Line
3 years agoMinnesota Wild winger Kevin Fiala will move to the top line on Thursday against Seattle with Mats Zuccarello unavailable due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. Zuccarello, who is Minnesota's top scorer with seven points, just scored his first goal of the season but is now forced to patiently wait for his chance to get back into the lineup. Fiala is a trigger-happy winger who has been cold in recent outings, going three games without a point. His new linemates Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek have been quiet as well lately, so the move could benefit everyone involved.
