The Minnesota Wild will face the Colorado Avalanche at home on Wednesday in the first round of the NHL playoffs.

The team begins its march to the Stanley Cup as a No. 3 seed, having clinched its first Northwest Division title since the franchise was born in 2000.

MPR's Perry Finelli talked with Doug Johnson, publisher of Let's Play Hockey, about the Wild's chances in the playoffs.
