Wild-Avalanche Duel Ignites Central Firefight
The Minnesota Wild just gut-punched the Avalanche 5-2 at Ball Arena, flexing their special teams edge despite Colorado's shot dominance in 5-on-5 play. Olympians like Matt Boldy return with gold-medal swagger, while Nathan MacKinnon's assists can't mask Colorado's third-period fade. With the Central Division standings tighter than a goalie's crease, this loss piles pressure on Jared Bednar as playoff positioning hangs in the balance.
