Congratulations to the Minnesota Wild for making it to the Western Conference playoffs!

Just as they have during the regular season, hockey fans with playoff tickets can get an easy, FREE ride to the Xcel Energy Center on Metro Transit. 

Just show your ticket to the bus driver or Transit Police officer for a free ride on any Metro Transit bus or light-rail train. Free rides are valid two hours before the game begins and two hours after the final horn sounds. Remember to keep your ticket stub for your free ride home.

This offer is not available on Northstar trains.

The Wild play the Blackhawks at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 5, and at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7.
