DENVER — Minnesota goalie Darcy Kuemper has left Game 7 of the Wild’s playoff series against Colorado with an apparent injury.

Kuemper was replaced by Ilya Bryzgalov in the third period Wednesday night. The nature of the injury wasn’t clear and there was no immediate announcement by the Wild.

Bryzgalov had not played since Game 2 of the series.

The Wild and Avalanche were tied at 4 after regulation.
