Game of the Year *NHL* - Schule's Saturday BEST BET
(NHL) Minnesota vs. Colorado, 10/11/2014 5:00 PM, Score: 3 - 0
Money Line: -115.00 Colorado (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Colorado Avalanche.

The Avs opened the season with a loss on the road at Minnesota on Thursday, but they get a chance to avenge that loss at home tonight. The Wild dominated that game from start to finish, and it was an impressive display. It's going to be near impossible to replicate that intensity on the road here tonight though.

Even head coach Mike Yeo admits that he expects his squad to suffer a let down: "To sit here and expect us to go and play 82 games like that, it's not going to happen," coach Mike Yeo said. "And I can tell you, to play two games like that, it's not going to happen. We're going to have to be ready for a different game. That's still a very good hockey team. That's still a team that won the division over there."

The home team has won eight of the last nine in this series, and the Wild have lost four for their last five visits to the Pepsi Center.

Last year's Calder Trophy winner Nathan MacKinnon has four goals and nine assists in seven home games versus the Wild. Jarome Iginla has 67 points versus the Wild in his career, the most among active players.

Take COL.
