Minnesota Wild winger Kevin Fiala will join the top line for Saturday's contest against Washington, replacing Kirill Kaprizov (upper body). Minnesota's top scorer extended his goal streak to four games in Thursday's 3-2 win over Boston but also left the game in the second period with an upper-body injury, and it's currently unknown how much time Kaprizov will miss. The Wild's attack, in general, has been ravaged by injury and it's been a no-brainer for head coach Dean Evason to lift Fiala to the first line. The Swiss winger has heated up lately with four points in three games to get to 22 points overall for the season. He logged nearly 23 minutes against Boston and should be in for another busy night.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
