Like I predicted, Game Four of the series between the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche was decided in regulation.

Unfortunately for the Wild, it was Colorado that was sharp from the start, earning a 5-1 win Tuesday night.

The series, now tied at 2-2, returns to Minnesota for Game 5 Thursday night at Xcel Energy Center.

Hopefully the Wild can get off to a better start and stay out of the penalty box – a place Minnesota skaters spent 111 minutes during Tuesday's loss.

The Twins weren't much better Tuesday night, blowing a 4-1 lead during their 6-4 loss in Detroit.

This time it was Jesse Crain who poured the gasoline on the fire, giving up a game-tying double to Magglio Ordonez and a two-run home run to Miguel Cabrera.

I thought the bullpen might have some issues and they have, costing the Twins at least three wins already this season.
