After dominating the Blues in St. Louis on Thursday night the Colorado Avalanche returned to Ball Arena to face the Minnesota Wild. Coming into this game Colorado was looking to get their first win streak of the season with a win over their division rival Minnesota, and they did just that thanks to great performances by Colorado’s star players.
The Game:
The game got off to a slow start with both teams failing to create much offense. Through about four minutes there were a combined two shots between the teams, both belonging to Minnesota. Slowly both teams started to get up to speed with Colorado getting up to tempo first, helped by a great opportunity from Nathan MacKinnon who made an outside-inside loose puck around a Wild defender but Cam Talbot halted the attempt.
