The Wild are still waiting for a breakthrough for their offense, but that didn’t prevent them from outscoring the Avalanche. They outlasted typically potent Colorado 2-1 in a shootout Tuesday night at Xcel Energy Center to end the Avalanche’s six-game surge while gaining ground in the Western Conference playoff race.

The Avalanche, who were delayed getting to Minnesota until the early hours of the morning, battled on the second half of a back-to-back to earn a point in their 2-1 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild.
