Fiala not happy being scratched
Minnesota head coach Bruce Boudreau has decided to make forward Kevin Fiala a healthy scratch for tonight's game against Toronto and the 23 year old isn't pleased. Fiala has one assist in five games with the Wild this season and a minus-3 rating. He played close to 15 minutes in the team's first win of the season over the Ottawa Senators on Monday but didn't register a point.
"I want to be in the lineup like everybody in this league. I'm not happy at all right now. So next time I'm in I'm going to try everything to make sure this doesn't happen anymore," Fiala told reporters.
Boudreau has scratched Victor Rask, Ryan Donato, and now Fiala so far this season. All three were players the Wild traded for in 2018-19. The Wild are 1-4-0 to start the season.
Fiala has 48 goals and 57 assists in 228 NHL games so far in his career.
