The Colorado Avalanche have made the Winnipeg Jets look more like the San Jose Sharks.
In a much-anticipated battle between the highest-scoring team in the NHL this season against the stingiest defensive club, the best offense is beating the best defense and it isn’t particularly close.
Colorado has scored 22 goals in the first four games of this opening-round series, which the Avalanche lead 3-1. Game 5 is Tuesday night at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, and it will be the first of three match points for the Avs to win and advance to the second round.
