On Saturday night, the Colorado Avs went from death’s door to the driver’s seat in their playoff series with the Minnesota Wild, scoring in the last two minutes of the third period to force overtime, with super-teen Nathan McKinnon putting the biscuit in the basket a short time into the extra period. That gives the Avs a 3-2 advantage going into tonight’s game six in Minnesota.
