GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Minnesota Wild are in a comfortable position to make the playoffs as the regular season winds toward the finish.
No reason to let up now.
Kevin Fiala had a goal and an assist, Cam Talbot stopped 22 shots and the Wild stretched their winning streak to four games with a 5-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Monday night.
“We want to go into the playoffs going in the right direction,” Minnesota left wing Marcus Foligno said. “That’s our focus right now.”
Kirill Kaprizov, Jordan Greenway and Marcus Johansson also scored to help the Wild strengthen their already-strong playoff position. Minnesota has 59 points, 14 ahead of fourth-place Arizona in the West Division.
