In a disappointing matchup on April 14, 2026, the Anaheim Ducks fell 3-2 to the Minnesota Wild at Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Despite outshooting the Wild 37-20, the Ducks struggled to convert their chances, continuing a troubling trend with a record of 1-14-5 in their last 20 encounters against Minnesota. Mason McTavish was a bright spot for the Ducks, scoring both of their goals, including his first multi-goal game of the season. The Ducks initially took the lead with a power-play goal from McTavish, but the Wild responded with a late first-period goal from Danila Yurov and continued to build momentum. Nick Foligno assisted Hunter Haight for his first NHL goal, and Robby Fabbri scored the game-winner. As the Ducks prepare for their final game against the Nashville Predators, they sit at 90 points, just one point behind the Edmonton Oilers and one point ahead of the Los Angeles Kings in the Pacific Division standings. The outcome of this game will be crucial for determining their playoff position and potential home ice advantage.
