Fiala has an NHL career-high 54 points (23 goals, 31 assists) in 64 games with the Wild this season. The 23-year-old forward was acquired in a trade with the Nashville Predators for forward Mikael Granlund on Feb. 25, 2019.
"[Former Wild general manager] Paul Fenton made a great trade. He did, and I'm glad he did it," Wild general manager Bill Guerin said in an interview with KARE 11 Minneapolis on March 10. "And Kevin's figuring out how good he can be in this league. He's a young kid. Sometimes it takes a little while to do, but he's figuring it out. Now the expectations have gone up, but we're really happy he's playing the way he is."
