ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Wild's last week of dress rehearsals before the playoffs are drawing mixed reviews.
After a late rally made up for a disastrous display in Chicago the night before, the Wild were better on Tuesday with more of their regulars in the lineup but lost to squash their chances at winning the Central Division.
Winnipeg locked up the last playoff spot in the Western Conference by holding off the Wild, 3-1, in front of 19,199 at Xcel Energy Center, the fourth game the Wild have dropped in their last six.
