The Minnesota Wild were given little chance of threatening an upset in the NHL Playoffs following successive heavy losses against the Colorado Avalanche in Games 1 and 2. However, they showed their character back on home ice over the weekend to record a 5-1 win.
A second straight victory would see them return to Colorado on level terms in the series. Brock Faber and Kirill Kaprizov were the standout players in the big scoring win on Saturday, with each of the Wild stars scoring once and adding two assists.

It has been a fairly seamless process through the playoffs for the Colorado Avalanche, but they will have questions to answer for the first time in the postseason on Monday.
The Avalanche suffered a first defeat in the playoffs in Minnesota on Saturday, and a second straight loss would see them travel back to Colorado on level terms. It was a rare off night for the Avalanche’s defense on Saturday, as they allowed four goals in the opening two periods. Their only moment of offensive quality came in the form of a goal for Nathan MacKinnon in the second frame.
Minnesota Wild vs. Colorado Avalanche Picks
The Avalanche still look like the outstanding team in the Western Conference playoffs and there is an expectancy that they will bounce back to winning form to restore a two-game advantage on Monday.
