Game Preview

Brandon Duhaime was all-in with the Wild, but Friday night in Denver, the 26-year-old forward will be wearing a Colorado uniform when Minnesota faces the Avalanche.

Duhaime was traded to Colorado on Thursday, a move made hours before Minnesota’s 5-2 win at Arizona. He will be ready to suit up along with the three other players Colorado acquired Wednesday and Thursday.

Duhaime was popular in the Wild locker room, but now he will be facing off against those friends and former teammates. Minnesota entered Thursday nine points out of the second wild card in the Western Conference, so Duhaime was flipped for a 2026 third-round draft choice.
