Fiala (rest) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Blues, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fiala is one of five Wild skaters to sit out Thursday's contest. The 24-year-old recently missed a game with a lower-body injury, but he should be good to go once the Wild's playoff run begins. Fiala will end the regular season with 20 goals and 40 points in 50 outings.

Fiala (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Friday's matchup with Anaheim, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Fiala (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Vegas, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Fiala suffered the injury, but it's serious enough to force him to miss game action. The 24-year-old will miss his first game since Apr. 10, as he's been on a tear the last five games, racking up nine points over that span. With Fiala sidelined, Marcus Johansson (upper body) will replace him in the lineup after returning from injury.

Fiala scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-5 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Fiala sparked the comeback effort with his tally at 10:49 of the third period. He also set up the game-tying goal by Kirill Kaprizov. The 24-year-old Fiala has 20 goals, 39 points, 153 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 47 outings. The Wild have a fairly balanced forward group -- the Swiss winger typically can put up solid offense regardless of which line he works on. He's racked up 13 points in his last eight outings.

Fiala scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over St. Louis. He also provided six shots, two hits and a plus-3 rating.
EDGE Analysis
Another huge performance by Fiala, who has now reached the scoresheet in six of his last seven games, piling up five goals and six assists during that stretch. His one-timer midway through overtime completed Minnesota's rally from 3-1 down, and he also set up Jonas Brodin's tying goal with one minute left in regulation. Fiala has 37 points in 46 games and needs one more goal for his third 20-goal campaign in the last four years.
