Takeaways from another Avs preseason loss, this time to Minnesota

Another loss, this one 4-3 to the Minnesota Wild. Yeah, it was the B team of Colorado that lost to the Wild’s A team, but that drops the Avs’ preseason record now to 0-3.

Some takeaways:

• Jayson Megna had a great game for the Avs. He had a goal, assist and was plus-3. He scored with two seconds left in the second period that cut it to a 3-2 game.
