The 37-16-10 Minnesota Wild and the 42-10-9 Colorado Avalanche will play a matinée today at Ball Arena. Colorado has the best record in hockey and usually comes out on the winning end, but they do have one thorn in their side and that is the Minnesota Wild. The Wild have won 2 of the 3 meetings this year and won the last meeting just last week, 5-2, in Colorado. Minnesota has won 2 straight, 8 of their last 10, and has played well on the road with a record of 19-9-3. The Wild will be a big dog this afternoon which is a good thing and are definitely worth considering.
