In a high-scoring NHL game, the Colorado Avalanche secured a 7-5 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. The match featured rapid scoring changes, with the Avalanche overcoming a Jets lead multiple times. Key moments included Josh Manson scoring a crucial goal towards the end of the second period, giving the Avalanche a two-goal lead. Despite this, the Jets fought back, but the Avalanche's strategy of pulling the goalie for an extra attacker in the final minutes paid off, securing their win.
