Jack Drury scored his career-high ninth goal of the season for the NHL-leading Avalanche (48-13-10), who ended a four-game road trip with a 4-0-0 record and are riding a five-game point streak (4-0-1).<\/p>\n
Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 22 shots for Colorado.<\/p>\n
Mark Scheifele scored twice and leads the Jets (30-30-12) with 34 goals.<\/p>\n
Connor Hellebuyck made 32 saves in front of 14,357 fans at Canada Life Centre.<\/p>\n
The Jets snapped a three-game point streak (2-1-1) and are 4-2-2 in their last eight games.<\/p>\n
Jets: Scheifele set a career-high in points when his pair of goals gave him 88 points. He also played his 951st game as a Jet, surpassing Thomas Steen from the 1.0 version of the Jets. Winnipeg did show a lot of effort, blocking 22 shots.<\/p>\n
Avalanche: Colorado entered the game ranked 27th on the power play, but made good on a big opportunity. Six seconds after a 38-second two-man advantage expired, MacKinnon scored 13 seconds into the third to break the 1-1 tie with the power-play marker. He added his second goal at 3:55. Artturi Lehkonen assisted on that second marker in his return after missing 11 games with an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n
The Jets challenged MacKinnon’s second goal for goaltender interference, but it stood and gave Colorado a 3-1 lead early in the third.<\/p>\n
The Avalanche hold the league’s best road record at 25-7-5. They’re 23-6-5 at home.<\/p>\n
Jets: Begin a four-game road trip with a rematch in Colorado on Saturday.<\/p>\n
