 DENVER -- John Mitchell scored at 3:35 of overtime, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Minnesota Wild 2-1 on Monday night.

Semyon Varlamov made 19 saves, and Tyson Barrie had a goal and an assist for Colorado, which beat the Wild for the first time in three tries this season.

Mitchell produced the winner after taking a pass from Matt Duchene and skating to the right circle. His shot rattled off the goalpost to beat Darcy Kuemper for his sixth of the season.

Kuemper recorded 18 saves, and Zach Parise had a goal for Minnesota, which had won three in a row.
 


Predators 3, Bruins 2

BOSTON -- Viktor Arvidsson, playing in his fifth game back from the minor leagues, scored on a solo rush with 4:56 left to give Nashville a victory over Boston.

The win was only the third in the last 10 games for the Predators, their second in their last seven road games. The Bruins lost in regulation for the first time in nine games and saw their five-game, head-to-head home winning streak against Nashville snapped.

Roman Josi scored two power play goals for Nashville, tying the game at 1-1 and 2-2.
