Two days after Christmas Day, the Minnesota Wild marched into Denver and defeated the Colorado Avalanche in a phenomenal 6-4 game. The Wild played a pretty good game, minus the last 3 minutes of the 1st and 2nd periods.
Carson Soucy opened up the scoring for the Wild 5:33 into the game. The one silver lining with this extended break in the season, if the Wild play another game in the 19-20 season, Soucy will be much closer to returning to the lineup- maybe even in the lineup first game back.
Eric Staal would make it 2-0 near the ten-minute mark of the period.
