ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Colorado Avalanche have little margin for error as they chase a playoff spot with nine games remaining. Philipp Grubauer made 36 saves to lift the Avalanche to a 3-1 win over the Wild on Tuesday night in a game that had playoff implications in Minnesota and elsewhere. Tyson Barrie, Tyson Jost and Ian Cole scored for Colorado, which won its second straight game. The Avalanche appeared to take a 2-1 lead midway through the second on a wraparound goal by Colin Wilson. “We need to score goals if we want to win games and we had some good chances,” Wild centre Eric Fehr said.
