Ducks are victimized by Minnesota Wild’s Kevin Fiala again and lose third straight

Kevin Fiala had two goals and an assist, Kaapo Kahkonen made 26 saves, and the Minnesota Wild defeated the Ducks 5-1 on Saturday night at Honda Center.

Joel Eriksson Ek, Victor Rask and Mats Zuccarello also scored for the Wild, who swept a two-game set against the Ducks.

David Backes scored and John Gibson made 24 saves for the Ducks, who lost their third straight.

Fiala continued his hot streak, having scored all of his team-leading six goals in his last seven games. He gave Minnesota a 2-0 lead at 16:17 of the first period, beating Ducks defenseman Ben Hutton to a loose puck in the offensive zone and putting a shot into Gibson’s side that trickled in.
