Some of the issues that looked fixed two days ago in a decisive win against the Dallas Stars were again troubling for the Colorado Avalanche in a loss to the Minnesota Wild.
Minnesota Wild's Marcus Foligno landed unrelenting punches on Golden Knights' Keegan Kolesar in retaliation for a dangerous collision with David Jiricek during Sunday's matchup.
Minnesota arrived hurting but determined, but eventually NHL-leading Vegas pulled away even without Jack Eichel.
Yakov Trenin scored against his former team early in the third period, and the Minnesota Wild beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-1 on Monday.
Saturday's loss isn't a reason to sound the alarms, but there should be a little concern about the way things are trending.
DENVER – Originally drafted by the Predators in 2015, Yakov Trenin spent the first 280-plus games of his career playing in Nashville. In his first game back at Bridgestone Arena as a member of the Minnesota Wild, Trenin went from fan favorite to hated villain, then to fan favorite again in the span of about 20 minutes.
