“I think we played a good series. This is a new team. We write our own story. Every team has their own ups and downs. We knew we were the better team, we just had to go prove it, and that’s what we did. “We knew they were going to push hard (in the first period). It’s their home rink and they want to end the series,” Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen said. The Wild’s last series triumph came against the St. Louis Blues in the 2015 Western Conference First Round, when they clinched the series in six games. ST. PAUL, Minn. — Quinn Hughes had two goals and an assist, and the Minnesota Wild eliminated the Dallas Stars with a 5-2 win in Game 6 of the Western Conference First Round at Grand Casino Arena on Thursday.

“It wasn’t everyone’s best game, that’s for sure, but that’s what a team’s all about. Parker Kelly scored a goal and had an assist, and Necas and Brent Burns each had two assists for the Avalanche, the No. 1 seed from the Central Division and the Western Conference. Just keep an eye on both those teams and see how that series goes.” Minnesota blew a three-goal, first-period lead. That’s a good team over there, so for us to play the way we did and get the job done (is great). The player I am, I’m not the guy everyone’s looking down the bench like, ‘Alright, get out there and go win it for us,’” Kulak said.
