Apr 22, 2025; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek (14) keeps the puck away from Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Noah Hanifin (15) during the first period of game two of the first round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images Kirill Kaprizov scored two goals and had an assist as the Minnesota Wild evened their series against the Vegas Golden Knights with a 5-2 victory in Game 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinals on Tuesday in Las Vegas.
Matt Boldy had a goal and an assist and Marcus Foligno and Mats Zuccarello also scored for Minnesota, which scored four times over a seven-shot stretch while building a 4-0 lead. Filip Gustavsson finished with 30 saves for the victory.
Noah Hanifin and Tomas Hertl scored goals and Adin Hill stopped 12 of 16 shots for Vegas. The best-of-seven series now moves to Saint Paul, Minn., for games on Thursday and Saturday.
Vegas, a 4-2 winner in Game 1, started quickly firing the first five shots on goal but couldn’t get one past Gustavsson. The Wild dominated the rest of the first period, scoring three times in a four-shot span.
Boldy, who scored both Minnesota goals in the opener, made it 1-0 at the 9:56 mark with a breakaway goal. He took a long saucer pass from Kaprizov and beat Hill with a wrist shot five-hole to give Minnesota its first lead of the series. Boldy became the second player in franchise history to score three consecutive goals in the postseason, joining Marian Gaborik (2003).
Foligno made it 2-0 when he slammed in a rebound of a Ryan Hartman shot from the low slot. Zuccarello followed at the 17:15 mark when he took a Marcus Johansson pass rushing down the slot and fired a wrist shot off Hill’s glove.
The Wild extended their lead to 4-0 at 3:59 of the second period when Kaprizov finished a two-on-one with Boldy with a wrist shot that squirted in off Hill’s pads.
Hanifin cut into the deficit at 12:04 of the middle period with a wrist shot from the slot past Gustavsson’s glove side.
Vegas closed within 4-2 at 2:26 of the third period when Hertl chipped in Alex Pietrangelo’s pass into the low slot for his second goal of the playoffs.
The Golden Knights pulled Hill for an extra attacker with 3:49 remaining, and Kaprizov sealed the win with a length-of-the-ice empty-netter from the boards behind his own net a minute later. He has five points in the series.

Maple Leafs roster updates vs. Senators: Likely lines and big questions for Game 5
TORONTO — The Maple Leafs have returned home for Game 5 against the Senators with a chance to close the series out — something that’s been so difficult for this core to do.The Leafs are up 3-1 in the series and deserve credit for being in that place. But not putting the Senators to bed for good in Game 4 meant this stat reared its ugly head: The Leafs have now won just one elimination game in 12 opportunities, dating back to 2019. And so while the talk of demons around this team might still be premature in this series, it’s not as if we haven’t seen a version of this script before.AdvertisementCan the Leafs respond with a sense of urgency not just to start, but through every period in Game 5? A win this early in the series would […]
Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s Google Pixel deal and a divisive ‘selfie’ – explained
Mohamed Salah’s celebratory selfie after helping cap Liverpool’s Premier League title party will become an iconic image.Standing in front of Anfield’s Kop end with his arm stretched, the Egyptian snapped away on a phone that had been handed to him during the goal celebrations.It seemed to be a moment of off-the-cuff spontaneity that summed up the joyous atmosphere — but things weren’t quite so clear-cut.AdvertisementIt has since emerged that the phone, manufactured by one of Liverpool’s partners, Google Pixel, was provided by a member of staff who captures content at the training ground and stands behind the goal each game in preparation for a scene like this.We analyse the rules around what players can and cannot do in terms of advertising during games and the reaction.What happened exactly on Sunday?Liverpool were cruising to the title when Salah joined in with […]
Thunder or Cavaliers? Which team had the most impressive NBA playoff sweep?
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers were the NBA’s standout teams during the regular season, and both carried their dominance into the playoffs with first-round sweeps over the Memphis Grizzlies and Miami Heat, respectively.Oklahoma City now awaits the winner of the nail-biting series between the Denver Nuggets and LA Clippers, a series currently tied 2-2 and is a candidate to go seven games. Cleveland will face the winner of the Indiana Pacers-Milwaukee Bucks series, which Indiana currently leads 3-1.AdvertisementGiven how dominant both teams were during the regular season, anything short of an NBA Finals appearance would be a disappointment in the eyes of many.

MADE IN ENGLAND: Na titulu Liverpoolu má podíl i Klopp. Těším se na pokračování hollywoodské pohádky
„Liverpool je zaslouženým anglickým mistrem. Byl jednoznačně nejlepším týmem soutěže. Přišlo mi, jako by Reds zapnuli v úvodním zápase sezony po nepovedeném prvním poločase v Ipswichi, od té doby šlapali a hráli skvěle.Na konci už v některých duelech nepředváděli optimální výkony. Někdy se projevovala možná nervozita, někdy trochu lehkovážnost, ale v tu chvíli už prakticky věděli, že titul vyhrají. Nicméně drtivá většina sezony byla v jejich podání úžasná.Konkurence nebyla tak silná jako v minulých letech. Manchester City si prošel obdobím, kdy nemohl vyhrát, Arsenal klopýtal a ve chvíli, kdy třeba mohl náskok Liverpoolu stáhnout, tak ho pod tlak nedostal. Ostatní měli také výkyvy.K triumfu dovedl tým trenér Arne Slot, nástup po Jürgenu Kloppovi zvládl skvěle. Očekávání byla veliká. Klopp má na tomhle titulu také podíl, Slota podpořil a přimluvil se za něj u fanoušků. A především mu předal fungující tým, který byl výborně připravený, dobře poskládaný a správně hladový.Vždyť Liverpool před sezonou […]
Paráda argentinského středoškoláka. Místo učení se na písemku rozhodl vyhrocené derby
„Překrásný gól. Něco podobného jsem už dlouho neviděl,“ radoval se trenér Marcelo Gallardo. Teenager se navíc prosadil v zápase, pro který snad celá Argentina dýchá. A ještě k tomu na domácím, k prasknutí narvaném stadionu.Mastantuono ukázal své umění ve 25. minutě, ještě za bezbrankového stavu. Dobrých třicet metrů od branky se postavil k přímému kopu a zakroutil jej levačkou okolo zdi. Nebohý brankář Boky Agustin Marchesín si asi myslel, že balon přeletí břevno. Ale mýlil se. Míč si našel cestu do horního růžku branky.Když podobný skvost předvede sedmnáctiletý frajer, není divu, že tím zaujme i evropské velkokluby. Dvojnásob ve chvíli, kdy Mastantuono hraje v River Plate každý zápas a platí za oporu.Což občas přináší komplikace. Superclásico se hrálo v neděli večer, od argentinských 20:30. A Mastantuono, v sedmnácti letech stále ještě středoškolák, měl v pondělí psát písemku ze zeměpisu. Ředitelovi dokonce volal i sám Gallardo, kouč River Plate, s prosbou o odložení.
