Colorado Avalanche Report Card: Playing the Wild
The Colorado Avalanche did an excellent job of defeating the Minnesota Wild last season — and even got into their heads.
The Colorado Avalanche played their main Central Division rival, the Minnesota Wild, four times this season. As usual, the scheduling was wonky, with Colorado playing the Wild once in November, once early in January, then twice in March.
Except for the first game of the series, which went to the shootout, the Avs handled the Wild pretty decisively. The scoring was very lopsided, with Colorado out-scoring Minnesota 21-7.
