Welp. If you missed tonight’s game, that might be for the best.
As expected, the Colorado Avalanche were too quick, too smart, and too good for the shorthanded Wild tonight. Minnesota fell to the Avs 5-1 on home ice Saturday night. They’re now 5-4-0 on the season, still in third place in the West.
The Wild’s lone goal came from defenseman Matt Dumba early in the first period, snapping his six-game streak with no points, and tying the game 1-1.
Avalanche goalie Philipp Grubauer might deserve an assist here as Dumba banks the puck off his mask and into the top corner of the net.
