Avalanche grab 2-0 series edge with dominant Game 2 over Wild
Colorado Avalanche surged to a 5-2 win in Game 2 to take a 2-0 lead over the Minnesota Wild, riding speed, depth and improved defense. A balanced attack—marked by a fast power-play sequence and 11 (soon 12) different scorers across the two games—put Minnesota on the ropes, while the Wild’s penalty trouble and goaltending leaks limited their comeback chances. The series shifts to Minnesota with the Avalanche in control and the Wild facing a tough uphill battle to avoid a quick exit.
