After missing out on taking a two-game series lead on Tuesday night, the Winnipeg Jets headed to the airport today to depart for Denver. The Jets fell 5-2 in Game 2 at Canada Life Centre to the Colorado Avalanche but felt they played a better game than the series opener. The discussion continues about line matching against Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen in the series as Jared Bednar looks to get the Avs top line away from the Adam Lowry line.
Ryan S. Clark is an NHL reporter for ESPN. The fact he scored that quickly is a reflection of how MacKinnon is a perpetual threat. Ever since he first burst into the hockey world's consciousness at age 14, many superlatives have been used to describe MacKinnon's game.
Cale Makar had a goal and two assists, and Nathan MacKinnon and Artturi Lehkonen each had a goal and an assist for the Avalanche, who are the No. 3 seed from the Central. Valeri Nichushkin gave the Avalanche a 1-0 lead at 6:10 of the first period, carrying the puck into the offensive zone and beating Hellebuyck with a wrist shot from just above the right face-off dot.
