Avalanche vs. Jets Game 4: Three keys for Avs to win third in a row

Avalanche vs. Jets Game 4: Three keys for Avs to win third in a row

The Colorado Avalanche was 20 minutes from a different kind of frustrating defeat Friday night against the Winnipeg Jets. Colorado steamrolled its way to five third-period goals in Game 3, collecting a 6-2 win and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven opening-round playoff series. The Avalanche has scored 15 goals in three games against Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, and a significant portion of them have come because Colorado is creating chances in the “home-plate area” in front of the Winnipeg net.
