The Minnesota Wild are on the verge of advancing in the playoffs for the first time since 2015 after a crucial Game 6 victory over the Dallas Stars, pushing the series lead to 3-2. According to Deadspin, Kirill Kaprizov scored an empty net goal during Game 5, contributing to the Wild's 4-2 victory, which has left the Stars facing elimination.
