Buff back, but Maurice doesn't expect Mile High performance in Denver

DENVER — The Winnipeg Jets will look to continue their winning ways when they play their first game of 2018 on the road tonight against the Colorado Avalanche at Pepsi Center.

The Jets (23-11-6) have been on a run, earning wins in their last three games since coming out of the Christmas break. If they plan to make it four straight they’ll have to beat an Avalanche club in need of making up ground in the Central Division — but one that has played some of its best hockey, of late.

Every team is expected to hit another gear in the second half of the season, and the Jets are no exception.
