GAME STORY: Colorado was outshot 42-19, but Alexandar Georgiev was excellent and Marc-Andre Fleury was not.
After arriving in St. Paul past 2 a.m. local time Wednesday, the Avs lagged for two periods but emerged with a vital 3-2 win at the Wild. After starting the night tied in the standings, Colorado returns home two points up on the second wild card spot thanks to Alexandar Georgiev’s 41 saves. This was the second time this season Colorado has been had fewer than 20 shots on goal.Longtime great netminder Marc-Andre Fleury was not great against the Avalanche. Not even good.
It was Nathan MacKinnon this time, creating something out of nothing with his skating speed into Minnesota’s zone. It was another savable shot low, but it trickled through Fleury’s five-hole. He was credited with two saves in the period, which ended with the Wild outshooting the Avalanche 30-10.Two players the Avalanche might not want to see in the middle of shoving matches right now: Manson and Bo Byram.
Playing in his first game since Dec. 1, 2022, Manson took exception to an early collision between Minnesota’s Connor Dewar and Georgiev. Later in the first period, Manson shoved Dewar after a whistle and ended up in the middle of a scrum.
