Minnesota Wild vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/26/26

The Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche gear up for what should be a highly-entertaining Western Conference matchup on Thursday. Two star studded teams that sent multiple players to the Olympics try and prove they are the team to beat in the conference. Here is our Wild vs. Avalanche prediction for the action to come.

Colorado may be the home team in this game, but they are playing in the second half of a back-to-back and had to travel from Utah overnight. A team like Minnesota is a strong group that could truly take advantage and pounce on their opponents early. Led by the likes of Kirill Kaprizov and Quinn Hughes, the Wild have an elite roster that can not only hang with the NHL’s best, but take them down. Minnesota was on fire before the Olympic break, winning 5 straight games and going 6-0-1 over the last 7 contests. Their offense was also clicking at an incredible pace, scoring 5.00 goals per game over their last five. I expect this momentum to carry, securing a major win for them. Let’s side with Minnesota on the money line.
