Game Recap: Avalanche Defeat Jets

Colorado hits the ice with a bunch of energy tonight, shooting out to an early lead and getting just enough defense and goaltending to win an important game against a divisional opponent.

We've gotten pretty used to the Avalanche getting off to slow starts this season. That wasn't the case tonight. Colorado came out hitting and skating and made numerous plays early in the 1st Period. The first shift for Gabriel Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon, and Matt Duchene set a frenetic pace from the onset and the Bottom-9 did their best to keep up.
