Wild eye third consecutive victory

Dec 1, 2008 - 1:32 PM Colorado (11-12-0) at Minnesota (14-7-1), 8:00 p.m. EST

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Ticker) -- The Minnesota Wild look to win their third straight came when they host the Colorado Avalanche on Monday.

Minnesota scored five power-play goals in its last contest, a 6-2 triumph at Nashville on Saturday.

Mikko Koivu had two tallies and an assist in the win and the 25-year-old center leads the Wild with 16 assists and 24 points. He has recorded a point in four straight games.

Colorado has alternated wins and losses in its last five games and is coming off a 4-3 victory against Tampa Bay on Satuday.

Wojtek Wolski scored twice in the win for the Avalanche, who will be without captain Joe Sakic and defenseman Adam Foote due to injuries.

Minnesota has won the last five home meetings with Colorado.
