The Minnesota Wild have a real opportunity to get some significant points in the standings tonight against the Colorado Avalanche. We’ve already started praying.
Wild vs. Avalanche
When: 8:30 p.m. CT
Where: Xcel Energy Center
TV: TNT
Radio: KFAN 100.3
As it stands right now, the Avalanche and Wild are tied in points but Colorado has one game in-hand and therefore has earned the third spot in the Central division, as the Wild are wallowing in the Wild Card. With eight points between second and third in the division, it seems like it is really just up to these two clubs to fight it out for the chance to not risk Pacific teams catching up and snatching both Wild Card positions.
