The Minnesota Wild aim to stay alive in their Western Conference first round series on Monday, as they host the Colorado Avalanche in Game 6 at Xcel Energy Center. Wade Boggs Jersey . You can watch the game on TSN and TSN GO at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt. Florida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo joins the NHL on TSN Panel to offer his analysis on the game. Playing at home has meant everything so far in this best-of-seven series, with the host winning the first five tests. Colorado broke a 2-2 deadlock with an OT win in Saturdays Game 6 at the Pepsi Center, and the Wild hope the trend holds true again tonight. If Minnesota can extend the series on Monday, a decisive Game 7 will be played Wednesday in Denver. Colorado, however, could have star forward Matt Duchene back in Game 6. Duchene, who has been sidelined since March 29 with an injured left knee, practiced Sunday and will be a game-time decision on Monday. "If he is back its a huge addition for us," Avs forward Ryan OReilly said. "Hes been one of our best players all year, and for me, he really helps create offense playing on a line. He brings so much to the table it makes it a lot difficult for them (opponents)." Duchene led the Avs with 70 points (23 goals, 47 assists) in 71 games this season. The 23-year-old centermans only career playoff action came in a six- game run with Colorado against San Jose in the 2010 conference quarterfinals. Duchene had three assists in those six games. After winning the first two games on home ice, Colorado allowed Minnesota to tie the series at 2-2 with two straight victories in St. Paul. However, the Avalanche were able to regain their advantage on Saturday with a comeback victory. Nathan MacKinnons terrific rookie season continued, as the leading candidate for the Calder Trophy scored 3:27 into OT to lift Colorado to a 4-3 win in Game 5. MacKinnon also added two assists after being held without a point in consecutive losses at Minnesota. He had a goal and six assists in the first two games at Pepsi Center. Before getting the game-winning marker from MacKinnon, Colorado had to tie the game late in the third period. In a bad break for the Wild, the game-tying goal shouldnt have counted based on video review as Paul Stastny narrowly beat a puck-carrying MacKinnon into the Minnesota zone. However, the play wasnt blown dead for an offside. With play allowed to continue, MacKinnon chipped the puck ahead to Stastny, who snapped a shot from below the left circle that Wild goaltender Darcy Kuemper turned away. Stastny then gathered the rebound and slipped the puck into the slot, where P.A. Parenteau fired the puck home with 1:14 remaining in regulation for his first career playoff goal. "It is what it is, but to sit here and dwell on it, I dont think is going to do us any good," said Wild head coach Mike Yeo. "Obviously frustrating, obviously disappointing, but bottom line is, its not going to do us any good." In overtime, MacKinnon handled a pass from Gabriel Landeskog in the left circle, made a move around Wild defenseman Marco Scandella and scored on a shot to the top right corner. "I was kind of screaming for the puck from Landy. He obviously made a good heads-up play to me," MacKinnon said. "(Stastny) looked great on the forecheck. I kind of just fired it to the net and I dont know if it tipped off one of their defenders or not, but Im definitely very fortunate for the win." MacKinnon (18 years, 237 days) is the second-youngest player in NHL history to score an overtime goal in the playoffs. Don Gallinger was 17 years, 339 days when he scored an OT winner for Boston on March 21, 1943 against Montreal "We knew when we drafted him what kind of player we were drafting, and he had a solid game again tonight," Colorado head coach Patrick Roy said about MacKinnon. Semyon Varlamov made 29 saves for Colorado, but the best save belonged to Avalanche defenseman Nick Holden, who prevented a goal in the extra session by blocking a Matt Moulson shot. Kuemper surrendered four goals on 35 shots after facing a combined 34 shots in the previous two games. This is the third all-time playoff meeting between the clubs. The Wild won a 2003 conference quarterfinals matchup in seven games, while the Avalanche knocked off Minnesota in six games during the same round in 2008.

"Probably the whole year," forward Matt Frattin said. "Defence wins championships." Forget about a championship for a second. The Leafs are just trying to win more games and make the playoffs. After giving up almost 36 shots a game last year, the most in the NHL, coach Randy Carlyle and his staff spent Saturday installing a new defensive-zone system. Its not a drastic difference, but there are tweaks that players hope will make them more effective and less vulnerable this season. "Were going to try something a little different," winger Joffrey Lupul said. "I think its going to take a little bit of the second-guessing out of it. .. Its nothing that no ones never seen before. "I think maybe last year was something weve never seen before. This is more back to kind of how you grew up playing." Most kids dont grow up playing a style that sees them get outshot by eight per game, and one of the goals this season is to have the puck more and, as a result, put goaltenders Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer under less pressure. Step one is changing some responsibilities. Bernier described it as players swarming the puck less and needing to be more patient. Much of the change has to do with wingers cheating more to the point than collapsing toward the net. "Sometimes last year it worked, sometimes it felt like that puck was always getting up top and they were getting a lot of shots because of it," Lupul said. "Its systematically a little different, but at the end of the day it comes down to those one-on-one battles." Along with new assistants Steve Spott and Peter Horachek, Carlyle said the staff went over different scenarios this summer and didnt make too many major changes to systems. Like everything else, defence is about the little things. "The difference is, where do you move your winger? Do you move him down the wall to squeeze or do you hold him tight to the pointt coverage? Do you hold a guy in the middle of the ice?" Carlyle said. Gary Sanchez Jersey. "Those are things: your rotation when the puck changes sides, who goes. "Theyre all basically based on the same thing, other than the fact that we have to do a better job of being stiffer and harder to play against." Carlyle said veteran Roman Polak, acquired during the draft from the St. Louis Blues for Carl Gunnarsson, can help in that area. But Polak is just one defenceman, and the Leafs know as a group they have to be better defensively than last season. One area is communication. "Any time you can have a group of guys that communicate, it makes the game a lot easier and it makes it a lot easier to make plays," defenceman Cody Franson said. "I think thats one area we can definitely improve in, and itll help us break out of zones a lot quicker." One simple goal for the Leafs is to have the puck more than they did last season, but thats easier said than done. When they dont have it, they know they have to be better at cutting down on quality chances. Centre Nazem Kadri said "its going to take some time to wrap our heads around" the new defensive system. But Carlyle isnt worried about players picking it up. "Theyll get it," Carlyle said. "That what this is about, thats what the exhibition games are about. "As a coaching staff, you pick your poison on the things that youre going to shove at the players, and I guarantee you every coach is shoving defensive-zone coverage." Notes -- Centre Tyler Bozak and right-winger David Clarkson are out with what Carlyle called lower-body injuries. The players got hurt during pre-training camp workouts, and theres no time frame for their training-camp debuts. Carlyle said he did not foresee them being long-term problems. ...
