The Minnesota Wild aim to break their decade-long postseason series drought as they face the Dallas Stars in Game 6 of their first-round series on April 30, 2026. The Wild last advanced past the first round in 2015, having lost nine consecutive series since then. They evened the series in Game 4, thanks to Marcus Foligno and Matt Boldy, who delivered crucial goals, leading to a 4-2 victory.

Meanwhile, the Anaheim Ducks also seek to end their own playoff struggles when they host the Edmonton Oilers for Game 6. The Ducks have not won a postseason series since 2017. After a thrilling 4-3 overtime win in Game 4, they fell short in Game 5, losing 4-1 despite a strong start from the Oilers.

• Jason Robertson, Stars: Anytime goal scorer (+130, FanDuel)
  Currently second in playoff goals with five, Robertson has scored in each game of the series and is on a hot streak, netting in nine of his last 10 outings.

• Matt Duchene, Stars: 1+ assists (-122, FanDuel)
  The 35-year-old center has been instrumental, with six assists in his last four games, showcasing his playmaking ability.

• Thomas Harley, Stars: Over 0.5 points (+160, BetMGM)
  Despite not scoring yet this series, Harley's offensive talent suggests he will break through soon, having previously excelled in the postseason.

• Vasily Podkolzin, Oilers: 1+ points (+115, DraftKings)
  Podkolzin has emerged as a key contributor with five points in the series, showing promise for continued performance.

• Alex Killorn, Ducks: 1+ points (+112, FanDuel)
