Despite heading into Game 4 down 2-1 in the series, the Minnesota Wild are one game away from advancing to their first Western Conference Semifinals since 2015.
The Wild were able to walk away from Tuesday's Game 5 with a 4-2 win against the Dallas Stars in the Lone Star State. Now, they're heading back to St. Paul in a potential series-clinching game to face the Presidents' Trophy winners in the Colorado Avalanche.
Minnesota has thoroughly controlled the pace of this series when there are five men on the ice for each team. While playing 5-on-5, Minnesota has outscored Dallas 11-3, including two goals during Game 4. In fact, the Stars haven't scored a 5-on-5 goal in the past two games (217:53).
The Wild have won both games when Mats Zuccarello has been able to suit up. He missed Games 2-4 with an upper-body injury, and immediately showed his presence was much needed when he scored Game 5's first goal. Dallas' Jason Robertson has also been a scoring menace throughout the series. The six-year veteran has scored in every game against the Wild in the first round; he has actually scored in every game against Minnesota this season, excluding their first meeting (eight of nine games).
