The last NHL game in next Friday’s night schedule corresponds to the clash between Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild, which will take place at 08:00 pm CST at the Ball Arena. For this game, the absolute favorite to win is Colorado Avalanche, not only because of playing at home, but also because the best player from Minnesota Wild, Kirill Kaprizov is still out due to surgery.
Despite this, it must be mentioned that Colorado Avalanche was just able to finalize with a terrible streak of 2 losses in a row after their 5-1 victory over New Jersey Devils, a result that increased the gap between them and the playoffs’ mark to 5 points. In this matter, it cannot be ignored that the Avalanche is still one of the most dual teams in the Central Division, so even though they’re one of the best offensive lines with 193 goals scored, they also are one of the worst defensive lines with 180 conceded goals.
On Minnesota Wild’s case, this team has suffered 2 losses in a row, a streak that is really concerning when taking into consideration that their most recent opponent was Utah Hockey Club (6-1). With those numbers in mind, they clearly aren’t expected to be competitive until the return of Kirill Kaprizov, who is still the top scorer of the Wild with 23 goals even though he hasn’t been able to play since almost 1 month ago.
