4:32 Wild.

4:33 What a shot by Quinn Hughes.

4:38 Circle around.

4:39 realizes that Wedgewood doesn't have a stick in the screen by Capri off.

4:44 Takes away the eyes of Wedgewood and the power

4:47 play comes up large for the Minnesota Wild.

4:50 Yeah, and because of that traffic,

4:52 you can see Wedgwood, he retreated back in his crease.

4:54 Sometimes when you retreat, it allows you to find a lane to find

4:58 the puck and and also cover some different options,

5:00 whether it's a pass to the back post or back door.

5:02 And then once you pull it into your body and you do have

5:06 that screen in front more times than not in a left-handed like he did,

5:09 you will shoot back the other way.

5:12 Save by Volstead on Mar.

5:14 The Wild with their first power play goal of the series.

5:18 Here's Bolinsky to the penalty coming up here against Minnesota.

5:24 And 35 seconds remaining on the power play.

5:26 Caught by Mar.

5:28 Blocked in front off the pad of Volstead.

5:31 Kept alive by the ABS.

5:33 Here's McCar to the far side.

5:35 Shot misses the net.

5:36 Back up the boards to Matt Baldi.

5:39 Baldi.

5:40 Capri off.

5:41 Stopped by Wedgewood and Wedgewood covers.

5:44 You have a chance to get it to the net.

5:48 As we look at our AT&T Connect, cam take it.

5:50 Capri off gets a step on it.

5:52 One chance, two and Wedgewood with a couple of good saves.

5:56 They were anticipating that play.

5:58 They were practicing their power play at their team practice.

6:01 Brent Burns who spent the first seven years

6:04 of his career with the Minnesota Wild now.

6:08 Baldi up top the priest off across.

6:11 Here's Zucarella with a shot.

6:14 Score at the flesh in hit initially and the Minnesota

6:18 Wild are now two for two on the power play.

6:22 They lead the Avalanche three nothing.

6:25 Goending change here for the Avalanche as Zukarella shoots this puck.

6:30 It's blocked by Taz as you mentioned and then Hartman's able to knock that puck

6:38 out of midair and just chip it by Wedgewood and that's a good goal.

6:43 It's below the crossbar.

6:44 I I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

6:47 Cadry with it once again.

6:50 A car straight away for Cadri.

6:54 Now Landisk.

6:55 Here's Cadry once again.

6:58 Landisk.

6:58 Stuff attempt saved by Bolstead.

7:02 The puck is in.

7:04 There was contact with Volstead,

7:07 but it was Hunt that drove Landisk into his goalender and that's why

7:14 the puck ended up being so free and McKinnon had a wide open net.

7:19 That's what happened.

7:20 We talked about taking the puck to the net by the Wild.

7:24 Well, that's exactly what happens here with the Avalanche.

7:27 They take it from the goal line to the blue line.

7:29 And as an offensive player here, Bouch,

7:31 when you're this close to the net and you feel contact like that, absolutely.

7:36 You fall right into the net minder and hope somebody can pick up the garbage.

7:41 That's what Landis Scott did.

7:42 And when you do that, here's a penalty coming up here.

7:45 Looks like O' Conor's going to go.

7:47 Power play coming for the Wild.

7:49 Ballstead off for the extra attacker.

7:51 St.

7:51 Block when they score.

7:53 He got a piece of it and then it crossed the line.

7:59 So the Wild come right back 20 seconds after the McKinnon power play goal.

8:05 It's now 4-1.

8:06 Puts the Wild back up by three.

8:11 Well, there's the penalty there.

8:14 And then McCarron to Faber.

8:16 The shot by Terasenko.

8:19 And this puck bounces off of Faber.

8:23 Get the puck to the net.

8:26 go to the net and beats Blackwood.

8:29 Good job by Faber.

8:31 He started the whole play by jumping up in the play.

8:34 Takes it right to the net.

8:37 You go to the net and you get the bounces right off his pants.

8:42 There's Johansson.

8:43 Penalty time winding down now.

8:46 Favor with it.

8:48 The return for Johansson.

8:51 Oh, off the post.

8:52 from Eurovv.

8:53 He's trying to go five home and you're off.

8:57 This one flutters and Blackwood able to get just a piece

9:02 of it off the one shot on that power play for Minnesota.

9:07 Here's McKinnon and sticking out the left pad was false.

9:11 It from a tough angle.

9:13 Now Eurovv sends the puck ahead.

9:17 It's a breakaway.

9:18 Terraenko stopped by Blackwood.

9:20 Now McKinnon got to start shooting the puck here.

9:24 You need three goals.

9:25 McKinnon under two minutes remaining.

9:28 Clips one and then Nelson with the opportunity.

9:33 The net stopped by Vstead.

9:36 What a save.

9:37 Nes missing the net.

9:39 McKinnon centering pass.

9:41 Back out to Mar.

9:43 10 seconds.

9:43 Shot by nature.

9:44 Blocked.

9:45 Here's Cavry.

9:46 Shoots.

9:47 That does not get through.

9:53 s down into the empty net by Baldi as Matt

10:03 Baldy finds this puck and scores from about 178 ft away.

10:09 Yesper Balstad just goes tumbling if he

10:12 trips over Ryan Hartman or not there Bush.

10:15 I don't know if you can break that down

10:18 but maybe just exhaust saved his best for last.

10:21 Couple of huge saves, some blocks, and for Baldi, his first in the series.
