Colorado Avalanche |
|
Miettinen - Koivu - Brunette Burns - Schultz Harding |
Smyth - Wolski - Hejduk Foote - Clark |
NOTES:
- The Wild dropped into last place in the Northwest after losing 10 of 14 games (4-9-1) in December.
- Niklas Backstrom is 8-2-1 versus the Avalanche.
- Pierre-Marc Bouchard has three goals in two games versus the Avalanche this season.
- Minnesota looks to earn at least one point in three consecutive games for the first time since mid-November.
Questions to Answer
- With no Sakic, Stastny or McCormick, and Wolski moving to center, can the Avalanche find an offensive groove?
- Will the Wild bounce back from a heart-breaking loss to the Red Wings?
- With 33:33 of TOI last night, and Brent Burns have the juice to put in another workmanlike performance tonight?
- Can Nolan and Miettinen continue to contribute offensively?
- Will the kids perform, or continue to flounder?

The Wild Keep Playing Like they have the in this 3 game span..
and You’ll be asking yourself Marian Who?
Well
I wouldn’t go that far, but it helps. If they can average 3 goals a game here for a while, then we can think about not needing a goalscorer as badly.
Great shot by Bouchard!
Kolanos then winds up and the shot is blocked by Stewart who falls to the ice in a heap.
