Colorado pushed Minnesota<\/a> to the brink with a 5-2 Game 4 win Monday, getting the go-ahead goal from Parker Kelly<\/a> with 8:28 left before Nathan MacKinnon<\/a> and Brock Nelson<\/a> added late empty-netters. Mackenzie Blackwood<\/a> made 19 saves in his first playoff start of the year, while Minnesota started Jesper Wallstedt<\/a>, who stopped 29 of 32 shots.<\/p>\n

The Wild\u2019s path to extending the series is tougher because Joel Eriksson Ek<\/a> and Jonas Brodin<\/a> will not travel for Game 5 as they continue dealing with lower-body injuries. Minnesota did show it can hit Colorado back, winning Game 3 by a 5-1 score behind Kirill Kaprizov, but the Avalanche have scored 24 goals through four games in the series, including a 9-6 Game 1 win and two separate 5-2 victories.<\/p>\n

Physicality is also becoming a major storyline after Josh Manson<\/a> was fined $5,000 for a butt-ending incident involving Michael McCarron<\/a> in Game 4. That adds another edge to Game 5, where Colorado can close out the series at Ball Arena, while Minnesota needs its best defensive effort of the series to keep its season alive.<\/p>\n
