Following a rare two consecutive days off the Colorado Avalanche jetted to Winnipeg to begin a weekend back-to-back series. While this was not the cleanest game the Avalanche played and despite blowing a two-goal third period lead Cale Makar led the team to victory in a 5-4 overtime final.
The Game
Nicolas Aube-Kubel got the Avalanche on the board early in this one with his second goal in the last three games. It was a nice transition play from Josh Manson and Alex Newhook which allowed Aube-Kubel to take a sharp angle shot and the puck bounced off a Winnipeg Jets defender at 5:10.
