Colorado Sports Night

Game 3. In Minnesota. Everything on the line. Gabriel Landeskog says the Colorado Avalanche are ready: Expect the Wild’s best - and raise it with their own.

No room for complacency - just ask Scott Wedgewood. The Avs are locked in, ready to do the work, and looking to go into Minnesota and take another one.

Look out, Minnesota - Colorado is rolling. Depth. Killer instinct. Two games, two wins. The Avs head home up 2-0 on the Wild. Here are our initial thoughts after the game.

The Colorado Avalanche are on a mission. Through the first two games of their 2026 playoff series against the Minnesota Wild, the Avs have already set an NHL playoff record with 12 different goal scorers. As Cale Makar put it: there’s a lot of gel in the lines right now.

It’s hockey night in the Mile High City! Game 2 vs. the Wild, and Jared Bednar doesn’t expect a repeat of Game 1 - saying the Avs need to be sharper defensively. Can they clean it up tonight?

It was a weird - but awesome - night for the Avalanche in Game 1 against the Wild. Will we see that again? Probably not. We break down what made Game 1 so unusual and what it means going forward with @DMacSportsCO tonight.

The Avs showed everyone they can win games in many fashions: from rock'em - sock'em to offensive explosion. And how do they adjust on the fly - it's because of the depth on their roster.

Game 1 was an Avalanche advisory - an offensive explosion. And Captain Gabriel Landeskog is fine with that. “You have to find different ways to win a hockey game.”

It’s game day. Round 2, Game 1. The Colorado Avalanche want to strike early. The captain’s message: set the tone from the opening puck drop.

The good news for the Nuggets: Nikola Jokic wants to be in Denver for the long haul. The bad news: he believes they’re still a long way off after a first-round exit.

Buckle up Nuggets Nation, this could be a rocky offseason after a short playoff run. - Adelman's future? - Jokic's contract? - Roster construction?

Nuggets big man Jonas Valančiūnas knows the message heading into Game 6 against Minnesota - We can be a physical team too.

Nuggets show some fight and keep the series alive against the Timberwolves. Cameron Johnson made it clear postgame: it’s not about personal vendettas — it’s about winning.

The storm clouds are gathering over Ball Arena. Is David Adelman coaching for his future as the Nuggets prepare for a win-or-go-home playoff game? @arranandersen and @PetersenWill break it down ⬇️

It’s do-or-die for Denver. Jokic hasn’t been at his best this series, but his mindset is clear: simplify everything - one shot, one possession at a time.

Avs take care of business in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs! Will now wait for winner of Dallas/Minnesota.

Sean Payton happy and content with the Broncos and the drafting of Tyler Onyedim. "We’re never trying to worry about the splash. We’re really trying to look at it with the proper vision, the proper grade... that’s being smart to the board.”

The Denver Broncos took a quick dip into the 2026 NFL Draft. Just one third-round pick in Tyler Onyedim - before going all-in with the Jaylen Waddle trade. GM George Paton isn’t worried: “The reason we’ve been so good the last couple years is our depth.”

Welcome to Broncos Country Tyler Onyedim

It wasn’t just a loss - it was a swing in the series. The Denver Nuggets now trail 2-1 to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the stakes are bigger than one game. This series could shape not just this postseason, but the future of this roster.
