Home-ice advantage is huge in the playoffs, so the Ducks aren\u2019t going to take their foot off the gas just yet.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8m\">Minnesota lost 6-3 in St. Louis last night and could rest some players ahead of the playoffs.

The Penguins have the No. 2 seed in the Metropolitan Division locked up, and the Blues have already been eliminated.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8v\">However, St. Louis will want to go out strong in its final home game of the regular season. The Blues just beat the Wild 6-3 last night, and could see the Penguins rest some of their top players in this meaningless match.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"90\">Claim the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/betting\/sportsbook-promos\/draftkings-promo-code\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DraftKings promo code<\/a> offer today.
