    The Minnesota Wild arrived in Vegas on Friday night. Minnesota was on the ice for practice on Saturday ahead of its Game 1 matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights.

    It was the same line combinations for the Wild as their last practice so it looks as if rookie defenseman Zeev Buium will play Game 1 vs Vegas on Sunday.

    The Wild also have listed their 'Black Aces' with Jesper Wallstedt, Devin Shore, Brendan Gaunce, Liam Ohgren, Travis Boyd, and Ben Jones.  

    Here were the Wild's lines in practice on Saturday. 

    Kirill Kaprizov - Joel Eriksson Ek - Matt Boldy 

    Marcus Johansson - Freddy Gaudreau - Mats Zuccarello

    Marcus Foligno - Marco Rossi - Gustav Nyquist
