Fleury, Golden Knights shutout Wild

In St Paul, Nicolas Roy opened and closed the scoring on Saturday night for the Vegas Golden Knights, in a 4-0 win over the Wild.

Vegas now holds a 3-1 series lead over Minnesota.

“I think we just have to move the puck quicker, [Vegas’ penalty kill is] running around and doing a great job, especially on our breakouts,” the Wild’s Kevin Fiala said. “We couldn’t get in clearly and make something, so we just have to bear down on the face-offs and help on the draws and do everything to win them back, and on the power play to move the puck quicker and shoot some pucks and get the pucks back. I don’t think we are doing the right things right now.”

Marc-Andre Fleury made 35 saves to get the shutout and win.

“I feel good,” Fleury said. “The body feels good. And my defense has been great for me.”

Mark Stone had a shorthanded strike for the Knights.

“We’re going to have to expect their best effort,” Stone said. “They’re going to want to come with a push. We’re going to have to do the same thing.”

Game 5 is set for Monday on The Strip in Las Vegas.

Zach Parise finally iced for the Wild after being a healthy scratch for the first three games of eh series.

“It’s been difficult, but right now what’s more important, I guess, is that we’re down three to one in the series,” Parise said. “That’s where all the attention should be is how can we get ourselves back into this series, win a game and then bring this thing back to Minnesota.”

Alex Tuch also scored for Vegas.

“We wanted to get back to our style of hockey,” Tuch said. “We wanted to take it upon ourselves to be better on all areas of the ice, and we were able to do that.”

Roy scored an empty-net goal to make the 4-1 final.
