The Colorado Avalanche needed a bounce-back game from Alexandar Georgiev in Game 2 of their Western Conference first-round series against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night — and that's exactly what they got. After posting a .696 save percentage and allowing seven goals in the opener, the Russian was superb at Canada Life Centre two nights later, making 28 saves on 30 shots and propelling the Avs to a convincing 5-2 victory. Georgiev shared a terrific response to the excellent performance afterwards. “I tried to imagine that feeling, winning the first game of the series for us,” the netminder said with a smile, according to NHL.com's Tracey Myers.
