Colorado sits fifth in the league with 3.36 goals per game in 2024-25.
On Presidents’ Day afternoon, the Minnesota Wild travelled to Denver, Colorado, to take on the Colorado Avalanche. These two teams met two weeks ago, and the Avalanche won 6-1.
We just put Nashville behind (us) quickly and regrouped,” Marc-Andre Fleury said, after he tied Martin Brodeur for the most seasons with 10 or more wins by a goalie in NHL history with 20.
With a little over a minute left in the second period, Colorado star Nathan MacKinnon made the Wild look silly when he deked Trenin and tied the game with his 18th goal of the season. It came on just the Avalanche's 11th shot on goal in two periods.
Instead, the Avs operated with the urgency of Eeyore. And the crowd wasn’t exactly buzzing either. For long stretches, the only sound was sticks clicking the ice. Close your eyes and it was hard to tell if this was Ball Arena or a Family Sports Center practice.
Some of the issues that looked fixed two days ago in a decisive win against the Dallas Stars were again troubling for the Colorado Avalanche in a loss to the Minnesota Wild.
After a bad loss to Nashville on Saturday, the Wild bounced back with a smart, structured game plan against the rival Avalanche.
Yakov Trenin scored against his former team early in the third period, and the Minnesota Wild beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-1 on Monday.
The Flower’ is still blossoming 21 years later. Minnesota Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury picked up his 10th win of the season on Monday, tying him with Martin Brodeur for the most 10-win seasons in NHL history at 20.
The Colorado Avalanche put up a short performance against division rival Minnesota Wild in their fourth of a five-game homestand. Nathan MacKinnon scores Colorado's lone goal in the 3-1 loss.
After recovering from stomach flu, Fleury was the best Wild player on the ice — by far — in lifting the Wild to a 3-1 win over the Sharks.
