(St. Paul, MN) — The Minnesota Wild practiced for the first time on Thursday since the regular season concluded and they were experimenting with their prized prospect as a possible Game 1 addition against the Vegas Golden Knights. Zeev Buium, the 12th round pick in 2024 and Hobey Baker finalist from Denver University, skated on the top power play unit in his first full N-H-L practice. Head coach John Hynes wouldn’t confirm or deny that they plan to use Buium in Game 1 but in his first full skate he was manning a unit with Kirill Kaprizov, Joel Eriksson Ek, Mats Zuccarello and Matt Boldy.
