Minnesota is playing well for interim coach John Torchetti, riding another four-game win streak. Minnesota is #15 in the NHL in goals scored, #10 on the power play and #10 in goals allowed. The Wild have a winning road record and are 8-2 against the Western Conference. Goalie Devan Dubnyk has a 1.68 goals-against average during the Wild's winning streak and is 7-3-0 with a 1.81 GAA in Colorado during his career. They face a poor Colorado defense ranked #20 in goals allowed. It's also a banged-up Colorado offense, without centers Matt Duchene and Nathan MacKinnon. Both are battling knee injuries and aren't expected to play. Duchene's 56 points lead the Avs, with MacKinnon's 52 closely behind. The Wild are 9-2 in the last 11 meetings and will keep that streak rolling. Play Minnesota.
