ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Colorado Avalanche have a chance to finish their four-game road trip with a winning record when they play the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; FS-N, ALT).
It is the first of home-and-home games between the teams; they play again in Denver on Monday.
The Avalanche (11-14-1) have won their past two games, including a 2-1 win against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Thursday. The Wild (13-7-4) will be the third opponent on the road swing that made the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season.
"It'd be really good for us [to go home with a winning record on the trip]," Avalanche forward Jarome Iginla said. "We're trying to get back into the playoff picture and for the last four weeks, we've been on the road for three of them."
