Andrey SenchenkoSport correspondentAll materialsEmail to the authorIn the last decade, the confrontation with the Pittsburgh Penguins has been one of the least pleasant for the Minnesota Wild. Until this season, the club from St. Paul lost to the Penguins five times in a row with a total score of 13:25. To interrupt the offensive series, the “savages” had to wait more than four years and go to the team of Kirill Kaprizov. The goal of the Russian super forward in the November match helped Dean Evason's team to win a much-desired victory. Today, Kirill was close to upsetting Mike Sullivan and his gang with Evgeni Malkin in the squad again. For the Wild, the home meeting with the Penguins, who scored a crazy move, turned out to be the real test. This was confirmed by striker Kevin Fiala, who admitted in one of the breaks that «the opponent is acting very quickly.» And the “penguins” not only showed high-speed hockey, but also scored a quick goal.
