Will the Colorado Avalanche defense please stand up?
The Minnesota Wild's third line of Nino Niederreiter, Jason Pominville, and Erik Haula stayed hot Tuesday, as all three scored on first-period breakaways.
After Haula's marker - which gave his team a 3-1 lead - he made some friends by sticking out his tongue while skating by the Avs' bench.

Interestingly for the Avalanche, their deadline-day, blue-line acquisition Eric Gelinas wasn't on the ice for any of Minnesota's early goals.
