Minnesota Wild Seek Redemption Against Colorado Avalanche After Third Straight Loss

The Wild aim to recover from recent struggles, including injuries to key players, as they face a strong Avalanche team on Monday.

The Minnesota Wild have lost three consecutive games and four of their last five, including a 6-2 defeat to the Nashville Predators on Saturday.
Injuries to star forward Kirill Kaprizov and defensemen Jared Spurgeon and Jonas Brodin have contributed to the Wild's struggles, though Spurgeon may return for their upcoming game.
Filip Forsberg led the Predators with two goals and two assists, marking his sixth goal in five games and setting a franchise record for power-play goals.
The Wild displayed physicality early in the Nashville game with three first-period fights, addressing lingering tensions from a prior incident involving Spurgeon, but failed to maintain momentum on the ice.
The Wild will face the Colorado Avalanche on Monday, a team led by Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, who are among the NHL's top performers this season.
