The Minnesota Wild's surge has them back in the playoff picture, riding a 5-game win streak. Minnesota has recorded shutouts in two straight games and three of four after a 1-0 win over Colorado, with three goals allowed during the win streak. The Wild is 6-0 against the Western Conference. Goalie Devan Dubnyk has been in goal for the entire winning streak with a 0.60 goals-against average. He's 7-1-0 with a 1.31 GAA in nine games since being acquired from Arizona on January 14. One of those wins came in Vancouver last Monday, a 4-2 victory to give Dubnyk four victories in his last six starts against the Canucks. Vancouver is 1-6 against the Western Conference. Minnesota has won five of six in the series. Zach Parise scored last Monday and has five goals and an assist in that six-game span against Vancouver, so grab home ice. Play Minnesota.
