With a pair of close, tough, gut-check type series against the Vegas Golden Knights and St. Louis Blues behind them and the playoffs looming, the Minnesota Wild welcome the Anaheim Ducks to the Xcel Energy Center for the last home series of the 2021 season. Minnesota has done well against the West division’s last-place squad, owning a 5-1-0 record against the Ducks this season and bring a five-game winning streak against Anaheim into Thursday night’s matchup.

Unlike recent series against the Golden Knights and Blues, both serving as a litmus test for their playoff success as well as an opportunity to potentially move up in playoff positioning, the Ducks are not likely to provide the level of competition the Wild have seen recently as Anaheim is entering their last series of the season with nothing more than pride on the line.
