Wild hope to continue run as Avs visit

The Minnesota Wild sit outside the playoffs in the Western Conference, but they are making a charge to get back into the race.

Minnesota has won three in a row, including a key division victory at Dallas on Friday night, and will try to keep streaking when it hosts another Central Division opponent in the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday night.

The Wild sit fifth in the wild-card standings, but only three points out of the final coveted spot.

Minnesota has used a platoon system at goaltender while Devan Dubnyk tries to regain the form that made him the team's top netminder in recent years.
