The Wild scored a pair in the second period to carry a 3-1 lead into the third.
Minnesota went up 2-0 at 8:10 of the middle frame as Hughes' point shot was tipped by Trenin before redirecting off Yurov's skate and past Dostal.
Sennecke got the Ducks on the board at 13:46 of the second period, beating a screened Gustavsson with a shot from the top of the faceoff circle.
Minnesota restored its two-goal lead a minute later as Trenin one-timed a Hughes feed under Dostal's arm.
