The Vegas Golden Knights will play the Minnesota Wild in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Vegas (49-22-9) is first in the Pacific Division, 10 points ahead of Minnesota (45-30-7) which is the first wild card in the Western Conference. The Golden Knights will have home-ice advantage in the best-of-7 series.

With thirty seconds left in the final game of their regular season, the Wild were on the wrong side of things needing to earn at least a point against Anaheim to clinch a playoff spot. Enter Joel Eriksson Ek,
