Well that was fun, wasn’t it!?
The Colorado Avalanche defeated the Minnesota Wild in Overtime tonight by a final score of 2-1. This game promised plenty of excitement, as Colorado added the four new arrivals of Casey Mittelstadt, Sean Walker, Yakov Trenin, and Brandon Duhaime into the lineup, but also saw Valeri Nichushkin make his long-awaited return.
The game matched the excitement leading up to the puck drop to a tee, and we were given an excellent hockey game on Divisional Rival Night.
Let’s break it down.
