(St. Paul, MN) — The Minnesota Wild are hard at work getting ready for Game 3 against the Colorado Avalanche as they fight for their playoff lives. The Wild fell in Game 2 by a 5-2 final to fall down 2-0 to the Avs in their best of seven series. But the first two losses were in Denver and now the series makes its way to Grand Casino Arena starting Saturday night. The Wild had a full day off on Wednesday but practiced yesterday at TRIA Rink in St. Paul and will be back to work again today. Wild head coach John Hynes had no update on center Joel Eriksson Ek and defenseman Jonas Brodin – both missed the first two games of the series – and he also wouldn’t disclose his starter in goal for Game 3. Puck drops at 8:10 P-M on Saturday night from St. Paul.
