Wilderness Walk: Bobby Ryan for Masterton

Let’s go over some news and notes:

- The Wild absolutely destroyed the Red Wings last night. Granted, it’s the Red Wings, but still. [Hockey Wilderness]

- Kirill Kaprizov just finished what is expected to be his last KHL regular season, and he pretty much wiped the floor with everyone. [Hockey Wilderness]

- Kevin Fiala? He’s pretty good at the hockey sport! And he’s also a big reason why the Wild are even in contention for a playoff spot. [The Athletic]

Off the trail...

- Seattle’s expansion team officially broke ground on its new training complex. [NHL]

- The Golden Knights signed forward William Carrier to a four-year contract extension. [Knights On Ice]

- Incredible moment in Ottawa last night. In his first home game since entering the NHL/NHLPA assistance program to battle his alcohol addiction, Senators forward Bobby Ryan scored a hat trick and nearly blew the roof off of Canadian Tire Centre. This is what sports are all about, folks.
