DENVER – A lot of highlight-reel plays occur in overtime, but an own goal?
Winnipeg forward Nikolaj Ehlers fired a pass in his own end that somehow squeezed through the pads of goalie Michael Hutchinson 1:23 into the extra period to give the Colorado Avalanche a crazy 3-2 triumph over the Jets Friday night in Denver.
Ehlers was having an excellent night, registering a pair of assists on goals by Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele, but his errant pass ruined it all.
Colorado forward Rene Bourque was credited with the goal, his second of the night.
