You know the combined 22 goals that were scored during the first two games of this Avalanche-Wild series, forget about them. This series has taken a turn to the UNDER with Minnesota's 5-1 Game 3 home win this past Saturday night. Despite leading the NHL in save percentage and goals against average during the regular season, Colorado goalie Scott Wedgewood was pulled in favor of Mackenzie Blackwood in Game 3. Look for the Avalanche to respond with a big defensive game. They were, after all, the best defensive team in the league during the regular season giving up an average of 2.4 goals a game. Colorado also was No. 1 in killing penalties. Colorado has given up two or fewer goals in regulation during 11 of its last 13 games. Minnesota is no defensive slouch either. Only three teams gave up fewer goals than the Wild during the regular season. Minnesota goalie Jesper Wallstedt bounced back from a rough Game 1 and being benched for Game 2 with a huge Game 3 performance stopping 35 shots. |
