In a pivotal Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round, the Colorado Avalanche faced off against the Minnesota Wild at Ball Arena. The highly anticipated matchup saw the Avalanche emerge victorious, but the real story may be the impressive performance of their opponents. Wild forward Matt Boldy notched a goal and an assist, while goalie Marc-Andre Fleury made several crucial saves to keep his team in the game. As the series shifts to Minnesota for Game 2, the question on everyone's mind is whether the Wild can bounce back from a tough loss and even the score.
