Following a very thorough effort in Tuesday night’s 4-1 in Buffalo against the Sabres in which Zach Parise stayed hot and scored a couple goals, the Wild will look to start to string together some wins and make up ground in the Western Conference standings, starting Thursday night at home against the very fast and skilled Colorado Avalanche.
The Wild can’t get too comfortable playing at home just yet, where they have a 4-1-2 record. After Thursday night’s game against the Avalanche, they go back out on the road for six of their next eight games, where they have a record of 4-10 this season.
