DENVER, April 20 (UPI) -- Ryan Smyth's second-period goal Saturday gave the Colorado Avalanche a 2-1 win over Minnesota, ending their Western Conference quarterfinal series.
The Avalanche won the series four games to two.
Smyth broke a 1-1 tie at 12:20 of the third period. The goal was his second of the playoffs.
Ben Guite's short-handed goal after an assist by Joe Sakic had given the Avalanche a 1-0 lead at 8:02 of the first period.

Colorado goaltender Jose Theodore made 34 saves and Minnesota's Nicklas Backstrom had 28.
