Wild Blank Avs 1-0 For Fifth Straight Win

The Minnesota Wild (25-20-6) shutout the Colorado Avalanche (22-20-11) 1-0 last night at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The win was Minnesota's fifth in a row, and lifted the Wild above the Avs in the standings; leaving them just 6 points behind Winnipeg.

Charlie Coyle scored Minnesota's lone goal in the first period. Devin Dubnyk recorded his second straight shutout and fourth since joining the team just nine games ago. The Wild are 7-1-0 since Dubnyk joined the team.

Next up for the Wild; tomorrow night at 7 PM at home against the Vancouver Canucks. (Radio: 1240 WJON, TV: Fox Sports North.)
