Preview: All eyes on Evason ahead of Game 3

Head coach Dean Evason caught some flak on Wild Twitter Tuesday night (perhaps undeservedly so since his team did everything but beat Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury) for his decision to play both Victor Rask and Marcus Johansson with Kevin Fiala, likely hoping that the star scorer could buoy the former two underperforming forwards. The analytical results were actually quite solid from that line, but they were on the ice for a bad turnover which led to a goal https://www.storeminnesotaonline.com...nway_Hoodie-49. On the other hand, it seemed that Rask and Johansson were dragging down Fiala exceptional plays rather than being able to keep up and e along for the ride. It also debatable whether the line faced an easy matchup from Vegas, inflating their on-ice impacts in the greater scheme of team matchups. Evason has kept the lineup largely the same since Nick Bjugstad returned from injury https://www.storeminnesotaonline.com...nen_T_shirt-31, scratching aging star Zach Parise in his place. While fans are hoping for Parise to return and help Fiala, the truth is that he been slower on his skates this year and not near the same player as in years past Nick Bonino Pillow Cover. It also been speculated that Evason is reluctant to adjust lines in order to build chemistry between the forwards.
