The Minnesota Wild's first line, featuring Matt Boldy, Kirill Kaprizov, and Joel Eriksson Ek, is dominating the NHL playoffs. They lead the series against the Vegas Golden Knights, showcasing impressive offensive skills and teamwork. With significant scoring contributions from Kaprizov and Boldy, the Wild have outperformed their opponents in scoring chances and shots. Eriksson Ek's effort in winning faceoffs and puck battles complements their play. The Wild's consistent performance throughout the series reflects their hard work and determination, marking an exciting evolution for the team this postseason.
Take this saucer breakout from Kaprizov on Tuesday, which Boldy called "the best pass I've ever seen." Or this dump and chasedown from Boldy Thursday night, singlehandedly creating a goal out of nothing.
How hard they work is really setting the standard for the whole team. Probably the two hardest working guys every night.â â Joel Eriksson Ek on Kaprizov and Boldy's work ethic.
If you're not watching the Minnesota Wild because of their historic Minnesota Wildness, you're missing out on some of the most confident offensive hockey being played.
Itâs the starmaking turn from Boldy, who the Wild took 12th overall back in 2019, that I've found myself most impressed by this postseason.
