Some of the issues that looked fixed two days ago in a decisive win against the Dallas Stars were again troubling for the Colorado Avalanche in a loss to the Minnesota Wild.

The Wild kept a high-powered Avalanche offense to the outside, for the most part, holding them to 11 shots through two periods. At one point, Colorado had just one shot over a 15 1/2 minute stretch. Minnesota was much better at exiting their own zone.

With a big two points on the line, the Avalanche came out flat in each period and had one of their worst low-event offensive games of the season.
