Five Avalanche players I'm watching against the Wild

DENVER — Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar are going to produce in the Colorado Avalanche’s second-round series against the Minnesota Wild, which begins Sunday. MacKinnon has been at least a point-per-game player in 12 of his 13 playoff series since the start of 2020 — the lone exception being a 2024 second-round loss to the Dallas Stars — and Makar won the Conn Smythe in 2022 and has 24 goals and 87 points in 83 career playoff games.Advertisement
