Minnesota at Colorado

Minnesota heads out on the road with great balance, eighth in goals scored and 12th in goals allowed. This is the second of a home-and-home series after the Wild shut out Colorado, 3-0, on Saturday. It was the Wild's eighth victory in nine meetings with the Avalanche. Minnesota is 39-15 against a team with a losing record, plus 7-3 in playing on one day of rest. Colorado looked like a tired team, home now after playing a whopping 15 of the last 20 away from home. The Avalanche went 0-for-8 on the power play during their just concluded four-game road trip. Colorado is 3-6-1 at home and ranked 26th in the NHL in goals allowed. And the Wild are 4-0 when they meet here. Play Minnesota.
