GWG Challenge: 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs (Second Round)

After sweeping their way through the first round against Los Angeles, the Colorado Avalanche are ready to begin the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, facing the Minnesota Wild for the first time in postseason action since 2014!

Minnesota will be a formidable opponent for the Avs, and while it’s been awhile since these two met in the playoffs, the Avs will certainly have their work cut out for them.  Our participants in the Game-Winning Goal Challenge, will have their own work cut out for them as they try to pit their draft lines against the likes of Matt Boldy, Kirill Kaprizov, Quinn Hughes, and the rest of the supporting cast that calls St. Paul home.

If you missed the first round, don’t miss this high stakes round of playoff action!  The winner of this round will earn bonus points to propel their scores into a potential berth in the Western Conference Final, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to see how far you can go this postseason!

What are you waiting for!  This is the most exciting time of the season!  Don’t miss out on your chance to prove you have what it takes to emerge victorious in this next round of playoff action!

Get your guesses in, because it’s the Cup!™
