Oh, boy. The Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche are fighting so damn hard at the top of the Central Division and this could put either team far enough ahead and that the remaining games could matter less. It’s a substantial game for the playoff picture.
Wild at Avalanche
When: 9:00 p.m. CT
Where: Ball Arena
TV: TNT, SN360
Radio: KFAN 100.3
Projected Wild lineup
Marcus Foligno — Ryan Hartman — Mats Zuccarello

Sam Steel — Frederick Gaudreau — Oskar Sundqvist
Mason Shaw — Connor Dewar — Alex Goligoski (that’s right)
Jake Middleton — Jared Spurgeon
Jonas Brodin — Matt Dumba

Filip Gustavsson
Marc-Andre Fleury
John Klingberg has returned from a minor injury but Ryan Reaves and Brandon Duhaime are dealing with some day-to-day stuff, so they are out for tonight. In Reaves’s place, is defenseman Alex Goligoski trying stuff out as a forward and Sam Steel is taking over Duhaime’s spot on the third line.
Projected Avalanche lineup
Valeri Nichushkin — Nathan MacKinnon — Mikko Rantanen
Alex Newhook — J.T. Compher — Evan Rodrigues
Denis Malgin — Lars Eller — Matt Nieto
