WINNIPEG, Manitoba — The Avalanche appear unable to catch a break from their injury woes.
It didn’t matter on Tuesday night, though, with a resilient 4-0 shutout victory against the Jets at Bell MTS Place.
Third-string goalie Adam Werner made his NHL debut with 40 saves, and the brilliance of Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon was on full display, as Colorado earned a third consecutive win to begin their long road trip through Western Canada. Although it didn’t seem plausible to begin the night.
The Avalanche injury curse reared its ugly head just 31 seconds into the opening period with goalie Pavel Francouz as the latest target.
