Colorado's Georgiev rebounds with a solid effort in win over Jets

After dropping the series opener by a 7-6 score to the Winnipeg Jets, the Avalanche spent the past couple of days saying all of the right things and focusing on their preparation. With that in mind, the Avalanche battled back from a pair of one-goal deficits before pulling away late in the second period in what became a 5-2 victory over the Jets before a stunned Whiteout crowd of 15,225 at Canada Life Centre. “When you come into the playoffs, you have to be resilient,” said Avalanche defenceman Josh Manson, the son of former Jets 1.0 blue-liner Dave Manson.
