The Minnesota Wild saw their season come to an end after a 3-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 6. The Wild fell 4-2 in the series, and for the 3rd straight year lost a series in 6 after taking a 2-1 lead. The Wild fell behind 1-0 on a Power Play goal from Shea Theodore. Ryan Hartman scored his first goal of the series with 4 seconds left in the 1st to tie the game at 1. Jack Eichel scored in the 2nd to make it 2-1 Vegas. Mark Stone scored in the 3rd period to make it 3-1, before Ryan Hartman scored to cut it to 3-2 with 3:30 remaining. The Wild could not muster the tying goal despite a flurry of chances with the net empty. The Wild went 3/4 on the Penalty Kill and 0/2 on the Power Play. Filip Gustavsson stopped 20 of 23 shots in net for the Wild, and was mostly tremendous all series long. Marc-Andre Fleury waved to the crowd before departing the ice in his final NHL game.

Gustav Nyquist's offsides call likely cost the Minnesota Wild the series against the Golden Knights. Despite this, he remains in the lineup for Game 6. What has Nyquist contributed? The Wild face elimination with an unchanged roster, raising questions about lineup decisions. Joel Eriksson Ek's impact goes beyond the scoresheet, shutting down Jack Eichel and enabling Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy's offensive success.

Host Seth Toupal breaks down the Wild's lineup choices, Nyquist's minimal contributions, and the team's struggle to match Vegas' depth. He analyzes Eriksson Ek and Brock Faber's defensive efforts against top opponents, highlighting their importance despite low point totals.

Will the Wild force Game 7 or see their season end? Tune in for insights on Minnesota's do-or-die Game 6 against Vegas and the factors that could decide their playoff fate.

The Minnesota Wild were pushed to the brink of elimination after losing Game 5 in Vegas 3-2 in Overtime. The Wild had what looked like the go ahead goal from Ryan Hartman with 1:15 remaining in the 3rd period, but after a review for a kicking motion, Vegas challenged for offsides and it was determined that Gustav Nyquist came in offsides and the goal was waived off. In the overtime period the Golden Knights got the outright win on a goal by Jack Eichel. The Wild trailed 1-0 after a shorthanded goal by the Golden Knights in the 1st period before Kirill Kaprizov scored his 5th goal of the series to tie the score at 1-1. The Golden Knights took a 2-1 lead later in the 1st on Mark Stone's 1st goal of the series and held that lead until Matt Boldy scored his 5th goal of the series to tie the score in the 3rd. Brett Howden scored 4 minutes into OT to give the Golden Knights a 3-2 series lead and a chance to close the Wild out in 6 on Thursday.

The Minnesota Wild welcomed the home crowd to the playoffs with a 5-2 win over Vegas in Game 3 of their opening round series with the Golden Knights. The Wild got the scoring started on a Power Play goal from Kirill Kaprizov to make it 1-0 with 3 minutes gone in the 1st. Marco Rossi scored his 1st goal of the postseason minutes later to make it 2-0. The Golden Knights got one back to make it 2-1 after 1. The Wild would add to the lead as Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov both scored in the 2nd to make it 4-1. Adin Hill was done for the game after 2 periods, and Reilly Smith scored a shorthanded goal to make it 4-2, but Marcus Foligno scored an empty net goal to seal the scoring. Filip Gustavsson was sensational, stopping 30 of 32 shots for the win, the Wild Penalty Kill held the Golden Knights off the board (except for a shorthanded goal) and the Wild once again held Jack Eichel and Mark Stone off the board. The Wild will host Vegas again in Game 4 at the Xcel Energy Center on Saturday at 3pm.

The Minnesota Wild showcase responsible physicality in their playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights. Through two games, the Wild have limited penalties and maintained composure, a stark contrast to previous postseasons. Ryan Hartman's elevated play exemplifies this approach, contributing offensively while staying within bounds. John Hynes keeps the lineup unchanged for Game 3, raising questions about complacency. The Wild must capitalize on home-ice advantage at the Xcel Energy Center, giving fans reasons to cheer early. Facing a potential Vegas pushback, Minnesota needs to combine their Game 1 and 2 performances for a winning formula. Can the Wild seize momentum and take a series lead? Watch now to see if Minnesota's disciplined physicality pays off against a hungry Vegas team.

The Minnesota Wild evened up their series against the Vegas Golden Knights with a hot start in a 5-2 win Tuesday night in Vegas. The Wild scored 3 goals in the first period off of Vegas turnovers, as Matt Boldy, Marcus Foligno, and Mats Zuccarello all pushed the Wild out to a 3-0 lead in the period. Kirill Kaprizov scored early in the 2nd to make it 4-0. Vegas would eventually answer as Noah Hanifin cut the lead to 4-1. Tomas Hertl scored to start the 3rd to make it 4-2, but Filip Gustavsson and the Wild defense held the rest of the way. Kirill Kaprizov scored an empty net goal to make it 5-2. Filip Gustavsson stopped 30 of 32 shots, and the Wild blocked 30 shots on defense. The Wild did not commit a penalty, and were unsuccessful in their only Power Play chance of the game.
