FAQ
Lightning vs Wild questions
How often do the Lightning and Wild play each other?
The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Minnesota Wild meet twice a regular season, once in each arena. Every club plays each club in the other conference twice, home and away, so this is the least often the league schedules any pairing — and outside the Stanley Cup Final it is the only way the Lightning and the Wild meet.
Are the Lightning and Wild in the same division?
No, and not the same conference either. The Tampa Bay Lightning are an Eastern Conference club in the Atlantic Division; the Minnesota Wild are a Western Conference club in the Central. That makes every meeting between them an inter-conference game.
What is at stake when the Lightning play the Wild?
A win is worth two points in the standings, and a loss in overtime or a shootout still earns one — so a game that goes past regulation puts three points on the table rather than two. An inter-conference game cannot move the Lightning and the Wild past each other in any playoff race — they compete for places in different conferences — but the points count toward each club’s total exactly as any other game’s do, and the overall table decides home-ice advantage in the Stanley Cup Final and the Presidents’ Trophy.
Can the Lightning and Wild meet in the playoffs?
Only in the Stanley Cup Final. The Lightning are in the Eastern Conference and the Wild in the Western Conference, and each conference plays out its own bracket until the final round.
Where can I follow the Lightning and Wild for the rest of the season?
Each club has its own Kalshi team page with its schedule, form and futures prices, and every Lightning and Wild game Kalshi lists has a market page with the moneyline. The NHL standings, schedule and Stanley Cup odds pages cover the rest of the league, and the matchup index carries every other pairing the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Minnesota Wild are in.
