DENVER -- Yakov Trenin and Brock Faber scored 1:35 apart in the third period for the Minnesota Wild, who pulled away from the Colorado Avalanche for a 3-1 win at Ball Arena on Monday.

With a little over a minute left in the second period, Colorado star Nathan MacKinnon made the Wild look silly when he deked Trenin and tied the game with his 18th goal of the season. It came on just the Avalanche's 11th shot on goal in two periods.

On Monday afternoon, the Wild got goals 95 seconds apart in the third period to break open a tie game, then held off a late avalanche of offense by the home team, beating Colorado 3-1 to snap a three-game losing skid.
