The Wild's magic numbers:
• 1 to make playoffs • 2 to secure No. 7 seed
• The magic number is the combination of Wild points gained and points lost by the ninth-place team that will result in the Wild clinching a wild-card spot.
Note: Top three teams in each division make the playoffs. Teams with the two next-best conference records are the wild-card teams.
