LAS VEGAS -- Kirill Kaprizov had two goals and an assist for the Minnesota Wild in a 5-2 victory against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 2 of the Western Conference First Round at T-Mobile Arena on Tuesday.

If the Wild finally break through and win their first playoff series in a decade, Minnesota’s top line likely will be the reason.

Hockey games are always decided by 18 skaters and a goaltender. It’s rare a specific player is the reason a team wins or loses. But Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore had a rough night Tuesday. Four Theodore errors led to four Minnesota Wild goals and the Knights lost 5-2 at T-Mobile Arena.
