The Minnesota Wild, who’ve been battling in the thick of the Central Division all season, clinched a playoff spot following their overtime win against the Anaheim Ducks. With the berth secured, Minnesota becomes the eighth Western Conference team to punch their ticket to the postseason.
Minnesota is now set to face the Vegas Golden Knights in the First Round—a rematch of their tightly contested 2021 opening-round series. That battle went the full seven games, with Vegas ultimately advancing after a Game 7 win.
This marks just the second playoff meeting between the Wild and Golden Knights, with Minnesota looking to flip the script this time around. With a mix of seasoned leadership and rising talent, the Wild aim to make this spring one to remember.
The #stanleycup Playoffs start on April 19 on TNT, ESPN, Sportsnet and TVA Sports
