Since the NHL realigned and revamped the postseason format starting with the 2013-14 season, this is the fourth time Minnesota qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs as a wild-card team. The Wild won first-round series in 2014 and 2015, before losing in 2016. That six-game victory in 2015 over St. Louis was the last time they won a series.

Target an enticing Vegas Golden Knights moneyline for Saturday's Game 4 pick and prediction in the Stanley Cup playoffs as the Minnesota Wild play host.
