ST. PAUL, Minn.–The Colorado Avalanche erased a two-goal, second-period deficit but couldn’t rally again, falling 3-2 to the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center on Thursday night.
Mats Zuccarello and Jordan Greenway both scored in the first 2:41 of the middle frame to open the game’s scoring, but Cale Makar tied the contest for the Avs with two goals of his own prior to the second intermission.
Andre Burakovsky recorded two assists, and Samuel Girard and Nathan MacKinnon also had a helper each.
