Colorado Avalanche vs. Winnipeg Jets 5-2

Colorado Avalanche faced off against the Winnipeg Jets in a thrilling match that ended with a score of 5-2 in favor of the Avalanche. The game was filled with intense moments and impressive plays from both teams, but ultimately it was the Avalanche who came out on top.

The Avalanche's offense was firing on all cylinders, with goals coming from multiple players throughout the game. Their defense also put up a strong performance, limiting the Jets' scoring opportunities and keeping them at bay for most of the match.

Playoff hockey is a whole different animal than regular-season hockey. The Colorado Avalanche went winless against the Jets during the regular season and lost Game 1, but now have a chance to find a groove and get a second game in a row on them. This is where it matters most, Avs fans. Hopefully, they can build off of this victory going forward.

Connor Hellebuyck faltered again, giving up four goals on 31 Avalanche shots.

After his disastrous seven-goal Game 1 performance, Alexander Georgiev bounced back, allowing just two goals against on 30 shots faced.

Josh Manson and Valeri Nichushkin also scored for the Avalanche. Alexandar Georgiev made 28 saves for Colorado, a bounce-back effort after allowing seven goals on 23 shots in the series opener.

“They showed so much support to me over the last couple of days. A very rough first game, obviously,” said Georgiev, who allowed seven goals on 23 shots in Winnipeg’s 7-6 Game 1 victory on Sunday.

The Avalanche trailed 9-2 in shots on goal about 13 minutes into the game. But Colorado rallied and led 15-12 in shots by the end of the period.

Wood tied it at 1:59 into the second period. Ross Colton won a faceoff and picked up an assist on Wood's goal.

The Avalanche went on a four-minute power play after Jets winger Kyle Connor received a double-minor for high-sticking Cale Makar. Colorado had one shot on net during the advantage.

Avalanche defenseman Sean Walker left the game after colliding in the corner with Jets center Vladislav Namestnikov.
