Avalanche Are Good Enough to Win Without Quality Goaltending - The Hockey Writers Colorado Avalanche Latest News, Analysis & More

The Colorado Avalanche were the laughingstock of the hockey world as they fell to the Winnipeg Jets by a score of 7-6 in their opening game of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. This also marked the first game all season long that Jets netminder Connor Hellebuyck allowed six goals, yet somehow his team still managed to jump out to a 1-0 series lead in front of the picturesque Winnipeg White-Out. Georgiev rebounded for Game 2, as he stopped 28 of 30 in a 5-2 victory on the road.
