After navigating the first round of the 2026 NHL playoffs, the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild face off in the Western Conference second round. Colorado, the Presidents' Trophy winners, cruised to a 4-0 sweep over the Los Angeles Kings in the opening round to become the first team to move on in this year's playoffs. Now, they will be meeting up with a Minnesota team that made its first second round in 11 years.
Despite being a three-seed, the Wild were able to win their first-round series against the Dallas Stars in six games. Left wing Matt Boldy capped off a six-goal and three-assist series, including two empty-net goals to clinch the final game for Minnesota. Heading into this series, the Avalanche and Wild split their season series 2-2.
The Wild were only one of four teams to beat Colorado twice this season, either in regulation or overtime ( Winnipeg Jets , Nashville Predators , Dallas Stars). Minnesota's 3. 8 goals per game this playoffs has been the second-highest average, compared to Colorado's sixth-place 3.
