Colorado Avalanche edge Minnesota Wild 3-2 in a shootout

In the second half and Pepsi Center portion of the back-to-back meeting with the Minnesota Wild the home team came away victorious as the Colorado Avalanche grabbed their first win of the preseason. It took until the fourth game and needed a shootout but the Avalanche ended up on top by a 3-2 score. This game was not televised nor broadcast anywhere but the radio therefore and video evidence of the win are scarce.

The first period was fairly even as the two teams traded goals. Louie Belpedio got the Wild on the board at 12:40 after he got behind the defense.
