Minnesota Wild

After falling behind 2-0 in the series, it was expected that Minnesota was going to push back and get back into this series. The Wild are too talented to get swept, and they showed exactly what they could do in Game 3. As previously mentioned, they were able to control a large portion of the play in that game and get their offense going. They’ll be looking to even up the series tonight in Game 4 and take the series back to Colorado tied 2-2. No lineup changes are expected for the Wild as Joel Eriksson Ek is not ready to play and no other options are in question.
