Zach Parise scored a pair of goals and Devan Dubnyk earned his 29th career shutout to lead the Minnesota Wild to a 3-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers Monday night.
It was the final regular season home game for Minnesota, and they went out with a victory and later clinched a spot in the postseason thanks to the Los Angeles Kings’ 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche.
Parise, by the way, now has 12 goals and 17 points in his last 19 games.
