After a thrilling overtime win and Cale Makar’s instant classic goal the other night the Colorado Avalanche were back at home to kick off a three-game home stand. Enter a division foe in the Winnipeg Jets for the first time this season and their first meeting since New Year’s Eve 2019. Early on it seemed this could be a tightly contested affair but the Avalanche’s best players made a statement in a 7-1 victory.
The Game
It wasn’t the greatest start as the Avalanche gave up the first goal on their 28th ranked penalty kill just three minutes into the game as Mark Scheifele found a juicy rebound left behind by Avalanche netminder Darcy Kuemper.
