Minnesota goalie Filip Gustavsson was replaced after two periods Tuesday night because of what the team called an illness, putting Marc-Andre Fleury in net for the Wild to face the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.

Facing elimination in Game 6 of their first-round series with Vegas, the Wild were unable to play with a lead — which was critical in these half-dozen games — and fell 3-2 on Thursday, with the Golden Knights claiming the series 4-2.

The Wild stars put on another show on Thursday night in Game 3, as each recorded two points and helped chase Adin Hill from Vegas’ net by the start of the third period during a 5-2 victory that had fans inside Xcel Energy Center screaming, dancing and waving towels all night.
