The Colorado Avalanche look to stay perfect when they host the Minnesota Wild for Game 2 of their Western Conference second-round series Tuesday at Ball Arena. The Avalanche won Game 1 9-6, matching the Hurricanes' 6-0 start in these playoffs. A Colorado victory would mark the fourth time in NHL history that teams from each conference began a postseason with six straight wins.

Eight different players scored for Colorado in the opener, with defenseman Cale Makar netting a pair including the go-ahead goal 3:21 into the third period. Devon Toews finished with four points while Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas each had three. Quinn Hughes scored for the Wild, who matched their franchise record for most goals allowed in a game set during the 2020-21 regular season.

Minnesota is making a goaltending change, inserting Filip Gustavsson for Jesper Wallstedt. The rookie yielded eight goals in Game 1 after allowing six over the final three games of the first-round series against Dallas. SportsLine analyst Scott Erskine recommends backing Matt Boldy as an anytime goal scorer at +150, noting the left wing tallied in each of his previous three contests and is tied for the playoff lead with six goals.

Kirill Kaprizov also presents value at over 0.5 assists (+105), having set up a goal in five of Minnesota's seven playoff games. For Colorado, Artturi Lehkonen at +116 to record at least one point makes sense given he has six points in five playoff contests this year after managing four in seven games last postseason.
