The Minnesota Wild are back home Tuesday night to face the Seattle Kraken, continuing a late‑season surge that has quickly evolved from locking up a playoff spot to jockeying for positioning in the Central Division.
Minnesota enters the matchup 6‑4‑0 over its last 10 games and riding a three‑game winning streak, capped by a 5‑4 comeback win at Detroit on Sunday. While the Wild have already secured their place in the Stanley Cup playoffs, their attention has shifted with five games left as they chase the Dallas Stars, who hold a two‑point edge for second place in the division.
