Meanwhile, the Wild secured the first Wild Card spot in the West after beating out the Winnipeg Jets who finished with 99 points. They lost their last game of the season, ironically to the Blues, but had won back-to-back games prior to their season ender.
It should be a very interesting match-up between the two teams as they split their four meetings in the regular season.
They first met late in November, with the Blues pulling off a 3-2 penalty shootout win on the road. The action picked up in the second period when the Wild took a 2-1 lead, but David Backes leveled things in the third period to eventually send things to a penalty shootout, where Vladimir Tarasenko sank the winning goal.
In their next two meetings, the Wild got big wins at home and as guests. They won at St. Louis 3-1 before dominating the Blues 6-3 in an exciting match at the Xcel Energy Center.
And in their final meeting of the season, the Blues evened the series with a 4-2 victory behind an inspired performance from Jori Lehtera.
