The Avalanche’s top line took flight on Thursday against the Jets.
Colorado rolled to a 7-1 victory at Ball Arena with goals from Gabe Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen. Landeskog recorded a hat trick. MacKinnon added four assists to extend his NHL-best points streak to 12 games.
The Avalanche (19-8-2) — winners of 10 straight at Ball Arena — need one more victory to set a franchise record for consecutive home wins. Colorado hosts the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.
A back-and-forth opening period Thursday began with a Jets power-play goal. Darcy Kuemper got beat by Winnipeg forward Mark Scheifele just 20 seconds into the shorthanded sequence.
