The Wild (+2500 to win the Cup) made a few moves during the offseason to try and bolster their offense and so far it is paying off with all four new players getting points on Saturday.

The Thrashers are coming off a 3-2 overtime loss at Florida after opening the year with a seven-goal explosion against the Caps. Ilya Kovalchuk is still seeking his first goal of the season after finishing second in the league with 52 goals in 2007-08.

The Wild are 5-1 in the last six meetings between the clubs although the Thrashers won the lone meeting last season 3-2 in a shootout. Goalie Kari Lehtonen only has one career start against the Wild, making 30 saves in a 5-1 loss. Get all your NHL odds in the Bodog Sportsbook now.

The Minnesota Wild kept the pressure on Colorado Avalanche goalie Joe Theodore all night long, but the 14 year veteran withstood their attack and led Colorado to the 3-2 win.

Theodore stopped 38 of 40 shots, while Andrew Brunette, Wojtek Wolski and Paul Stastny provided the offense to seal the win.

“I just tried to make every save,” Theodore said. “Like I say, they’re a great team and I’m going to have to be ready for the next one.”

The Avalanche now hold a 3-2 series lead and get to finish the Wild at home.

“He was the only reason we were in the game. Great’s not even the word to describe it. Being tied going into the third was almost like winning going into the third,” Colorado coach Joel Quenneville said.

The Avalanche were +110 underdogs in the contest. Get your NHL playoff odds in the Bodog Sportsbook!
