Wild turn to Marc-Andre Fleury over Filip Gustavsson in Game 2 against Stars

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:50:41 GMT

DALLAS — The State of Hockey took a collective gasp when Marc-Andre Fleury led the Wild onto the ice Wednesday night at American Airlines Center.Never mind that Filip Gustavsson set a new franchise playoff record with 51 saves in Game 1 on Monday night to lead the Wild to a 3-2 win in double overtime over the Dallas Stars. It was Fleury who got the nod for Game 2 with the Wild having a chance to take complete control of the playoff series.Though it might seem like a confounding decision on the surface, it’s something coach Dean Evason hinted at down the stretch of the regular season. No matter the result of the previous game, the Wild spent the final month of the regular season alternating their goaltenders more often than not.The fact that Gustavsson played so well in Game 1 made many assume he would be the guy in Game 2.  Not the case.This might be a case of the Wild trying to keep Gustavsson fresh after he played 92 minutes, 20 seconds less than 48 hours earlier. Perhaps th...

The Taiwan-based company is best known for making Apple iPhones. The company announced plans in 2017 to build a $10 billion facility in Mount Pleasant that would employ 13,000 people.Wisconsin’s gover...
