PAUL - The Minnesota Wild (26-11-4) host the Colorado Avalanche (25-16-1) tonight before going on the road. They will play the Avalanche with a few key guys out. Jonas Brodin and Brock Faber both got injured in the Wild's 6-4 win over the St.

That ironman finish by Brodin alongside Zach Bogosian, who was on the ice for three seconds more than Brodin’s 2:41, should have smelled like victory since their ferocious defending helped the Wild preserve their rally, 6-4, over St. Louis on Tuesday at Xcel Energy Center, and it apparently tastes like pizza.

His last shift, coming with 9:52 left in the first, ended relatively innocently and innocuously. He got tangled with Pavel Buchnevich in the corner, came back to the front of the net with the St. Louis Blues winger and skated slowly to the bench and down the tunnel. Coach John Hynes did not provide an update on Faber after the game.
