The Wild have not announced an outdoor watch party for Monday’s Game 4 after hosting their first outdoor playoff watch party outside Grand Casino Arena for Game 3. The team said after Saturday’s win that fans would be “back outside for game 6,” which would be played Friday in St. Paul if the series gets there.
Minnesota cut Colorado’s series lead to 2-1 with a 5-1 win Saturday night in St. Paul. The Wild said the team looked much faster and “significantly different” than it did during the first two games in Denver.
Goalie Jesper Wallstedt returned to the net for Game 3 and allowed just one goal after sitting for Game 2.
The Avalanche won Game 1, 9-6, and Game 2, 5-2, in Denver before the Wild answered with Saturday’s win at Grand Casino Arena.
Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday in Colorado. If necessary, Game 6 would bring the series back to St. Paul on Friday.
