Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and an assist, Casey Mittelstadt had three assists, and Mikko Rantanen had two assists for the Avalanche, the No. 3 seed from the Central Division. Tyler Toffoli and Josh Morrissey scored for the Jets, who are the No. 2 seed from the Central.
The Winnipeg Jets and Colorado Avalanche have played some sensational, highlight-reel shinny this week, with their first playoff meeting providing no shortage of entertainment for fans. Go figure that three of the top picks that year are now playing crucial roles in this Central Division clash — Cale Makar, Casey Mittelstadt and Gabriel Vilardi.
With just three games remaining in the regular season, the Colorado Avalanche have a chance to secure a good spot in the standings ahead of the playoffs. The Avalanche have solid depth this season, especially with their trade deadline acquisitions. The addition of Casey Mittelstadt and Sean Walker has significantly improved the team's depth and defense, respectively, while Yakov Trenin and Brandon Duhaime have bolstered the bottom six. Goaltending has been an issue, with Alexandar Georgiev's inconsistent play, but Justus Annunen has stepped up since being recalled from the American Hockey League's Colorado Eagles.
