Colorado Avalanche @ Minnesota Wild (Round 2, Game 4)
Colorado leads series 3-1

Colorado doesn’t have the record to match Carolina, but all season, they’ve proven to be just as good a team. While they’ve been great at scoring all season, the Avs are currently getting consistent scoring from all over their lineup. When Scott Wedgewood faltered, MacKenzie Blackwood showed he’s still capable and is ready to take the net back. Meanwhile, despite the 5-goal total, Wallstedt played another very strong game. Two of those were scored on the empty net. Now we just have to see if Bednar sticks with Blackwood or turns the net back to Wedgewood for Game Five. Either way, it seems that the Wild likely have enough pushback for one more victory in the series.
