Golden Knights defeat Wild 5-1, extend win streak to four

The Vegas Golden Knights continued their impressive performance with a 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild, marking their fourth straight win and sweeping the season series. Jack Eichel led the charge with a hat trick, including a critical power-play goal in the third period, while Adin Hill made 23 saves. The Wild, struggling offensively, have only scored one goal in their last six periods, leading to concerns about their playoff positioning. This loss comes as they face increasing pressure from the St. Louis Blues, who are closing in on a wild-card spot. Marc-Andre Fleury, in net for the Wild, faced 33 shots in his first start in eight games as the team grapples with injuries and inconsistent performances. The Golden Knights, despite missing top scorer Tomas Hertl, capitalized on their scoring opportunities to dominate the game.
