Columbus Blue Jackets v Minnesota Wild

That’s Wild

The Minnesota Wild had an insane comeback win against the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday and winger Kevin Fiala — who scored the game-winner — now has the confidence that this team can beat anyone on any night.

OT hero Kevin Fiala on the signature victory over the Avs: “If you want to get to the Stanley Cup Finals, we’re going to have to go through them. We don’t care how many points they have. We know we can beat anyone.” #mnwild
