Game Preview

The Minnesota Wild are making a hard charge to put themselves into playoff position. A Southern California sweep when they visit the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday would go a long way toward keeping their Stanley Cup hopes alive.

The Wild (34-27-8, 76 points) reach Los Angeles after a 4-0 road victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. Thanks to a 6-0-2 run in a season-best, eight-game point streak, Minnesota sits three points back of the Vegas Golden Knights in the chase for the Western Conference’s second wild-card position.

“We put ourselves in this situation, and we need to find some points somewhere,” said Minnesota goaltender Filip Gustavsson, who recorded a 27-save shutout at Anaheim. “Right now, we’re doing our best to do that.”
