The Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche meet on Friday in a fascinating Central Division matchup at the Grand Casino Arena.
The Avalanche have been in dominant form, winning 10 consecutive games and taking over the league lead. No team is even close to them currently, as Colorado has amassed 39 points with a 17-1-5 record.
Colorado's current run of victories even includes a three-game shutout streak. It has been 189 minutes and 17 seconds since Jared Bednar's side last allowed a goal. With Nathan MacKinnon leading the charge, the Avalanche have always been a massive threat offensively. Now, they also look unbeatable in defense.
Minnesota sits third in the Central Division and the Western Conference, improving to 13-7-4 following a six-game winning streak. The Wild have also received some great goaltending lately, and their offense has picked up. John Hynes has seen his team record very impressive victories over Vegas, Carolina, and Winnipeg. Now, they are hoping to take another scalp on Friday.
The Minnesota fans should be fired up for the visit of the league's best team, and this could turn into a real spectacle at the Grand Casino Arena, where the Wild are on a 6-0-1 run.

Our Minnesota Wild vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction
While the Avalanche seem unbeatable right now, Minnesota's chances should not be underestimated. The team has produced three shutouts during its six-game winning streak, scoring at least three times in each of the last five games.
Winning streaks of 10-plus games are extremely rare in the NHL, and the Wild definitely have the quality to end Colorado's run on Friday. The teams have played each other three times this calendar year, and Minnesota has won two of the games.
