The Colorado Avalanche went to a shootout for the second home game in a row but came out on top once again in a chaotic 4-3 win Monday afternoon. In a building filled with as many Minnesota Wild fans as Avs fans, the Avs had more to cheer about once the final horn sounded.
The Central Division rivalry lived on in the matchup, with physicality coming into play, a fight between Jordan Greenway and Kurtis MacDermid after Darcy Kuemper was injured, and a huge two points for the Avs in the end to take them up solely in the lead of the Central Division.
