Minnesota man-handled.
The Colorado Avalanche did exactly what they needed to do, rebounding from their loss Monday night with a 5-2 result over the Minnesota Wild Thursday night. Three-point nights from Jonathan Drouin and Nathan MacKinnon led the way on offense, while Justus Annunen was stellar in the crease.
Eight different players scored a point in the game and were solid all around. At this point in the season, it is just what the doctor ordered. Here’s how it all went down!
First Period
The offense got going early thanks to the good stick of Artturi Lehkonen.
