Colorado Avalanche smoked 6-1 by Winnipeg Jets

A glance at the box score in this meeting between the Colorado Avalanche and Winnipeg Jets doesn't tell the whole story.

Yes, the better team won handily in a 6-1 victory for Winnipeg - but the game was a 1-0 affair until just about the midpoint, and then Colorado's mistakes became too much for them to overcome.

Blake Wheeler got the Jets on the board at 10:09 in the first period, scoring off of a weird deflection between Jonathan Bernier and the post.

The Avalanche didn't let this break them, though, as they headed into the first intermission only down one.
