Minnesota dominated on the scoreboard in Game 2 but the Wild didn’t get there with a prolific shot total. The Golden Knights outshot the Wild 32-17 but Minnesota was more physical on the boards out hitting Vegas 37-30. Kirill Kaprizov had an amazing game putting up three points with two goals and an assist. Minnesota was up 4-0 before Noah Hanifin got Vegas on the board for the first time more than halfway through the second period.
Minnesota didn’t score again until late in the third on an empty net by Kaprizov but the game was well out of hand by then. Kaprizov has had a great couple of games to open this series as he grabbed two assists in the opener. It was Minnesota’s first win over Vegas all season. The Golden Knights have to clean up the turnovers if they are to get back the lead in this series.
