Wild faceoff against Avs tonight in a Central Division showdown

Winners of their past 4 games, the Minnesota Wild look to push that streak to a solid work-week tonight against the Colorado Avalanche. This will be no easy test for the Wild, who despite being out-shot heavily in games or taking penalty after penalty while clinging to a lead, have managed to find ways to win games. With Colorado coming to town tonight, Devan Dubnyk will once again be counted on to stand on his head, the defensive core will need to a wall, and the Wild will have to find a way to muck things up on the forecheck and keep a fast skating Avalanche squad from piecing together any kind of rhythm.
