The goaltender defied the NHL when he took to the ice wearing the mask during Native American Heritage Night in St. Paul on Friday, Nov. 24, 2023.

On Presidents’ Day afternoon, the Minnesota Wild travelled to Denver, Colorado, to take on the Colorado Avalanche. These two teams met two weeks ago, and the Avalanche won 6-1.

Colorado sits fifth in the league with 3.36 goals per game in 2024-25.

Colorado is hoping the upcoming break ... who generated very little on Marc-Andre Fleury. What went wrong: The Avalanche played with little energy on Monday. They had plenty to play for.

Instead, the Avs operated with the urgency of Eeyore. And the crowd wasn’t exactly buzzing either. For long stretches, the only sound was sticks clicking the ice. Close your eyes and it was hard to tell if this was Ball Arena or a Family Sports Center practice.

Some of the issues that looked fixed two days ago in a decisive win against the Dallas Stars were again troubling for the Colorado Avalanche in a loss to the Minnesota Wild.

With a little over a minute left in the second period, Colorado star Nathan MacKinnon made the Wild look silly when he deked Trenin and tied the game with his 18th goal of the season. It came on just the Avalanche's 11th shot on goal in two periods.

Yakov Trenin scored against his former team early in the third period, and the Minnesota Wild beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-1 on Monday. Jake Middleton had a goal and an assist, Brock Faber also scored and Marc-Andre Fleury made 26 saves for Minnesota.

After a bad loss to Nashville on Saturday, the Wild bounced back with a smart, structured game plan against the rival Avalanche.
