Colorado are hitting their stride at the right time of the year, winning the previous 6 matches and lighting the lamp at an incredible pace. Nathan MacKinnon has been in a mood since the 4 Nations, recording 15 points in his last 6 matches and is a big reason why the Avs are firming once again as Stanley Cup contenders.
The opposite can be said for Minnesota who can barely buy an even-strength goal at the moment on their slide down into wildcard positioning in the West. The Wild have also been poor defending when they get into penalty trouble and that is a major issue heading into this match.
On their winning run, Colorado have converted 50% of the power play opportunities for 9 goals and they are going to punish the Wild if given the opportunity at the 31st-ranked penalty kill unit.
- Colorado have won 8 of the last 10 matches against Minnesota.
- Colorado has scored 9 powerplay goals in their last 6 matches.
- Colorado have scored 31 goals in their last 6 matches.
- Minnesota hav a penalty kill percentage of 69.9%, second-worst in the NHL
