Sean Monahan's second goal of the day is set up by Josh Morrissey's thousandth* good rush of the season. 6-0 #NHLJets. *hundredth sounded like too few. I wonder what the real number is.

The @NHLJets are soaring! ✈️ They now lead 5-0! https://t.co/tDGevsK8oI
Halfway through this game, the Jets are totally demoralizing the Avs. It’s 5-0, and that’s an accurate reflection of the flow of play. Feels like a message not only being sent to the Avalanche but also to all their doubters…
Tyler Toffoli's sixth goal as a Winnipeg Jet is the Jets' fifth of the afternoon and his 32nd of the season. 5-0 Winnipeg.
Odd-man rush for #NHLJets and Kyle Connor finds Tyler Toffoli, who rips his shot home. 5-0 #NHLJets at 10:19 of the 2nd period.
Avs getting booed off the ice. Score is 4-0 Winnipeg and shots 16-6.
Just a horrific period of hockey from the Avs, and they're booed off the ice. Jets lead 4-0, Georgiev pulled, Avs only have six shots on goal, and Girard was injured by his own player. About as bad as you can get.
Avs getting booed off the ice. Score is 4-0 Winnipeg and shots 15-6.
Absolutely dominant period by #NHLJets who are up 4-0 on #Avs after outshooting them 15-6.

It's 4-0 Winnipeg
#NHLJets winning a lot of races and a lot of puck battles. Mark Scheifele got another good look there from the slot, but Georgiev squeezes the pads together just in time to make the save with 5:31 to go in the first period.
Some slick puck movement from the Jets on the PP gives them an early 2-0 lead over the Avs. ✈️ (📽️: @NHLJets) https://t.co/cZagRqo5Zy
Gabriel Vilardi's power play tear continues, fed once again by Kyle Connor for a back door tap-in on the doorstep. 2-0 #NHLJets
Wave after wave for Winnipeg, with Sean Monahan burying Nikolaj Ehlers' picture perfect cross crease pass to make it 1-0. Great start by the #NHLJets.
Monahan from Ehlers. 1-0 Winnipeg. Avs do not have a shot yet.

Laurent Brossoit stops every shot sent his way for his third @pepsi shutout of the season! 🛩️ https://t.co/EeeAU5j2nb
Just when the Jets story became too troubled, too clumsy with the puck, too careless — even from the greats — Winnipeg storms into Dallas, plays its best all-around game in ages, and shuts out the division leading Stars 3-0. For the #NHLJets inclined, that's a wonderful sign.
#NHLJets avoid the series sweep and win a fifth consecutive game, 3-0 over @DallasStars on Thursday to improve to 49-24-6 on the season. 25-save shutout for Laurent Brossoit. Jets close out road trip on Sat vs #Avs
Scheif empty nets it. Jets going to win!!! #gojetsgo !!!!! @NHLJets https://t.co/jMhFYU9sXN
Empty netter makes it 3-0 Winnipeg.
Kyle Connor finds Mark Scheifele, who scores into the empty net with 2:21 to go. 3-0 #NHLJets on Scheifele's 25thgoal of the season.
Winnipeg is offering clues / signs / hope that they can weather a playoff sort of storm. Dallas is clearly a dangerous team but the #NHLJets are doing a lot of good things to keep their 2-0 lead.
Jets get one to trickle through crowd and take 2-0 lead in second period.
After an extended offensive zone shift, a shot from Dylan Samberg from the right point changes direction off Mason Marchment and #NHLJets go up 2-0 at 9:20 of the 2nd period.
That's a very composed period for #NHLJets Strong puck management and sound defensively. They're up 1-0 on @DallasStars thanks to the 200th @NHL goal of Nikolaj Ehlers' career. SOG 9-8 for Winnipeg.
Nikolaj Ehlers scores on the rebound and it's 1-0 #NHLJets Great effort by Sean Monahan in front as he takes initial shot and then finds Ehlers all alone. Tyler Toffoli also chips in an assist as he kicked the puck to Monahan. Goal scored at 14:52 of first period.
