1st Period: Complete domination by the Wild. Somehow they only netted one goal despite their vast success. Colorado, unsurprisingly, did not score at all. Charley Coyle, Minnesota's leading goal-scorer got the credit for the tally on the power play. A shot from the point by Matt Dumba led to a rebound, Eric Staal got a stick on it, and then Coyle tucked it away. About the only good thing an Avalanche player did was in the form of a beautiful save by Semyon Varlamov in the first two minutes of the game.
2nd Period: There wasn't a lot to talk about on a positive note in this period either.
