Tonight the Minnesota Wild host division rival (#WhyNotUs) Colorado tonight at the X looking to build on their winning streak. After winning just two game in a eight game stretch, Minnesota can make it three wins in a row tonight. Since the beginning of last season, the Wild are 5-1-0 against Colorado (all decided in regulation) – outscoring the Avalanche 19-8. The last time these two met (which was on opening night) Minnesota overcame a three goal deficit in the third period to rally for a win.
Since Mike Yeo changed up his defensive pairings, the Wild have won both games.
