#mnwild finish the season with a 3-2 win over the Ducks and improved to 46-24-12 (104 points). First NHL goal for Hunter Haight, first goal with the Wild for Robby Fabbri and an unreal night for Jesper Wallstedt. Stopped 34-of-36. He is 4-1-0 with a 1.82 GAA in his last 5.

Robby Fabbri from Nicolas Aube-Kubel and Ben Jones in a huge game for the Ducks and a practically meaningless game for the Wild, in terms of positioning.

Good goal. Robby Fabbri with his first with the Wild and second of the year. 3-1 Minnesota.

Robby Fabbri scores against his former team. 3-1 Wild. It was never called as a goal but that looked in.

Wallstedt has been outstanding tonight. With 14 minutes left in the game, he's got 2.81 goals saved above expected. We will see what that is after the game.

McCarron to the box. Not happy about the call. Don't blame him. He complains all the way to the box. Then, yells from the box. Referee Carter Sandlak asked McCarron if he was done complaining before he announced the penalty.

Back for period three. 2-1 Wild.

Pretty passing play for what could be the Wild's third line in Game 1 of the playoffs. Danila Yurov is stuffed by Dostal on the doorstep after a tic-tac-toe play from Tarasenko, Brink and Yurov. 2-1 Wild after two periods.

First NHL goal for Hunter Haight, who had his first one waived off yesterday. 2-1 Wild. What a shot.

Middleton for tripping. 4-on-3 PP for the Ducks.

Jeff Petry made a great play on Beckett Sennecke to break up the rush. Petry finished his hit and then, after Wallstedt stopped the puck, Sennecke gave Petry a whack. They both go to the box 4-on-4.

Danila Yurov rips one past Dostal. 1-1.

McTavish on the power play. Wild traped in the zone that whole shift. McCarron, N.Foligno, Gustafsson Nyberg and Kiersted. 1-0 ANA.

Haight to the box for a slash. Ducks PP.

Underway from St. Paul. Final game of the regular season for the #mnwild.

That will do it. Four straight wins for Minnesota. 5-2 the final. They improve to 45-21-12 for 102 points. Three points for Eriksson Ek, a goal and a helper for Boldy, a sweet goal from Foligno and 25 saves for Wallstedt.

Joel Eriksson Ek gets his 19th goal of the year. Empty netter. 5-2 with 2:43 left.

Empty net for Seattle with 4:00 left.

The Wild now have 8 players with 15 or more goals. It is the second time in franchise history they have had that. First since 2016-17.

Unreal feed from Matt Boldy to Marcus Johansson. 4-2 Wild. Johansson's 200th career NHL goal. Joel Eriksson Ek quickly took it out of the net.

Back for period three. 3-2 Wild.

3-2 #mnwild after two. Shots are 19-19.

Faber to the box for interference. #SeaKraken to the power play.

Tarasenko picks up the loose change after Hartman tipped Spurgeon's shot. 3-2 Wild.

Bobby Brink draws a penalty. Wild to the power play.
