Covers Preview - With one day left in the regular season for the Western Conference, the final two playoff berths have yet to be claimed. The Minnesota Wild failed to clinch their spot on Friday and will take one last crack at it when they visit the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. The Avalanche are sitting at the bottom of the West but fought through a 5-4 shootout win in Phoenix on Friday and have played well of late.
