Here are Colin’s keys to clinching a playoff spot with a win in Minnesota.

Mind the gaps

Minnesota have struggled in recent weeks. They’ve conceded at least two goals in four of their past six games, and have not won any of them.

The gaps in-between their lines and defenders means that the ‘Caps will have space to expose them.

They need to take advantage.

Great form

The team has been in good form of late.

A number of players have been doing well, led by two of the key players in Ryan Gauld and Andres Cubas.

They’ve been exceptional and will need to be again on Sunday.

Go for it

I take this one back to the Canadian Championship Final.

The ‘Caps came out strong from the first minute and they set the tone.

They need to go for it with the same team mentality.
