High-scoring Avalanche await winner of Stars-Golden Knights in next round after dispatching Jets

The high-scoring, fast-flying Colorado Avalanche are so much more than the Nathan MacKinnon Show. The supporting cast for the Avalanche played an integral role as they eliminated the Winnipeg Jets in five games during their first-round series. The Avalanche had 12 different players find the back of the net in a series where they averaged 5.6 goals a game against a team that led the NHL in fewest goals allowed during the regular season. It's the sort of top-to-bottom depth that has MacKinnon, a Hart Trophy candidate, recalling 2022, when the Avalanche won the third Stanley Cup championship in franchise history.
