Winnipeg Jets goalie, Michael Hutchinson, had himself a night, earning a 1-0 shutout over the Colorado Avalanche despite seeing a bevy of Grade-A scoring opportunities sent his way, a disappointing loss after waiting nearly an entire week between games.
There’s pluses and minuses to having five entire days off in the middle of the season. On one hand, new coach Jared Bednar was able to integrate a couple of players coming back from injury and make any necessary adjustments from the first five games. On the other hand? The team was rusty as all get-out against a Winnipeg Jets team playing the second night of a back-to-back.
