Anaheim defeated the Wild 3-2 in the last meeting on Jan. 27 and its goalies have a decent history against the Wild. If the Ducks go with John Gibson he is 7-6-4 with a 2.51 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage against Minnesota. Lukas Dostal has made three appearances against the Wild and is 1-1-0 with a 2.62 goals-against average and a .934 save percentage. The Wild will likely have Filip Gustavsson in net with a 17-15-4 record and a 3.26 GAA. Both teams are playing their third game in four days, but all the pressure is on the Wild, who are battling to make the playoffs while Anaheim has nothing to lose. Take the road underdog Ducks.
