The evidence mentions the Avalanche won Game 2 by 5-2 and that the Wild's goalie allowed 8 goals in Game 1, but it does not explicitly state the total score for both games was 14-8. While the math (8+5=13) suggests the claim of 14 goals is likely incorrect or the evidence is incomplete, there is no direct confirmation of the 14-8 total.

The provided evidence includes general team information and game results, but contains no mention of betting odds or the -125 favorite status.

The search results for this claim provided only dictionary definitions of the word 'eight' and no sports data regarding goal distribution by period for this series.

One search result mentions the Avalanche scoring five first-period goals in a game against the Dallas Stars, not the Minnesota Wild series. No evidence confirms five first-period goals specifically for the Wild series.
