Colorado has won 10 straight games, while Minnesota has six consecutive victories.<br \/>\nGiven the back-to-back, it\u2019s worth wondering if Mackenzie Blackwood gets the nod again on the road against the tougher competition, which would set up Scott Wedgewood for Saturday\u2019s home matinee against the struggling Montreal Canadiens. Without a morning skate, we likely won\u2019t know who\u2019s starting until pre-game warm-ups begin.<br \/>\nLike the Avalanche, Minnesota has been stingy defensively. Colorado is riding a three-game shutout streak. Meanwhile, the Wild are coming off a 4-3 OT victory over Chicago, but have four shutouts in their last eight games. Minnesota is 7-0-2 in its previous nine games.<br \/>\nMatt Boldy and Kirrill Kaprizov have matching stat lines, with each recording 14 goals and 14 assists in 24 games. Their 28 points has them just inside the top 20 in the league. The Avalanche have three of the top-10 points leaders with Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Martin Necas all at 30+ points.<\/p>\n<p>Season Series<\/p>\n<p>Nov. 28 at Minnesota Wild<br \/>\nDec. 21 at Minnesota Wild<br \/>\nFeb. 26 vs Minnesota Wild<br \/>\nMarch 8 vs Minnesota Wild<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/coloradohockeynow.com\/2025\/11\/26\/the-aftermath-avalanche-stomp-sharks-6-0-win-10th-straight-game\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Aftermath: Avalanche Stomp Sharks 6-0, Win 10th Straight Game<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Avalanche Injuries<\/p>\n<p>Logan O\u2019Connor (hip, week-to-week)<br \/>\nValeri Nichushkin (lower body, week-to-week)<br \/>\nGavin Brindley (lower body, week-to-week)<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/coloradohockeynow.com\/2025\/11\/22\/avalanches-gavin-brindley-out-week-to-week\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Avalanche\u2019s Gavin Brindley Out Week-To-Week<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Projected Avalanche Lines (Subject to Change)<\/p>\n<p>Artturi Lehkonen \u2014 Nathan MacKinnon \u2014 Martin Necas<br \/>Gabriel Landeskog\u00a0\u2014 Brock Nelson \u2014 Ross Colton<br \/>Parker Kelly\u00a0\u2014 Jack Drury \u2014 Victor Olofsson<br \/>Ivan Ivan \u2014 Zakhar Bardakov \u2014 Joel Kiviranta<\/p>\n<p>Devon Toews \u2014 Cale Makar<br \/>Josh Manson \u2014 Brent Burns<br \/>Samuel Girard \u2014 Sam Malinski<\/p>\n<p>Mackenzie Blackwood<br \/>Scott Wedgewood<\/p>\n<p>Projected Starters (Subject to Change)<\/p>\n<p>Unconfirmed: Mackenzie Blackwood (COL)<br \/>\nUnconfirmed: Jesper Wallstedt (MIN)<\/p>\n<p>Upcoming Milestones<\/p>\n<p>Brock Nelson \u2014 needs 1 point for 600, 9 assists for 300<br \/>\nDevon Toews \u2014 needs 4 games for 500<br \/>\nNathan MacKinnon \u2014 needs 7 games for 900<br \/>\nVictor Olofsson \u2014 needs 7 games for 400<\/p>\n<p>How to Watch<\/p>\n<p>TV: Altitude TV<br \/>\nRadio: 92.5 FM<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/paypalme\/colhockeynow\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/CHNS-Tip-Jar.png\" alt=\"Contribute to CHN's travel and support local journalism!\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Colorado Avalanche (17-1-5) are back on the road to kick off a matinee back-to-back against the Minnesota&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[1222,1223,831,4828,385,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-318868","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-avalanche","9":"tag-colorado-avalanche","10":"tag-featured","11":"tag-minnesota-wild","12":"tag-nhl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
