"It's nice to get one and get going," said Jenner, who went six games without a point. "Cam's buzzing around there and we were able to get the turnover. The play by Cam to throw it back in front to me, it was a heck of a play."
Avalanche forward Blake Comeau knocked in John Mitchell's shot with 2:09 to play, but the goal was nullified when it was determined through video review that he used a high stick.

"I felt it was pretty high because I was in a high stance and reaching," said Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who made 18 saves for his 13th win. "I felt it was no goal. Obviously I was a little nervous."
Said Comeau: "They called it a goal on the ice and I felt my stick was right at my shoulders, so it was pretty close. They obviously saw enough to call it a high stick. It's disappointing, frustrating."
The Avalanche tied the game 2-2 in the second period on Comeau's power-play goal and one by Sam Henley, who made his NHL debut after being called up Wednesday from San Antonio of the American Hockey League.
Comeau converted a rebound at 10:38 and Henley scored at 14:25 on a screen shot.
"It's nice that we battled back, but we gave up (37) shots," Comeau said. "We can't count on (Varlamov) to stand on his head every night. It's just poor puck management, turnovers through the neutral zone, sloppy defensively. We made it 2-2 and we have to find a way to come out of it with a win."
The Blue Jackets took a 2-0 lead in the first period on goals by Saad and Nick Foligno.
Saad scored from the slot on a rebound at 4:56 for his seventh goal after Jack Johnson shot from just inside the blue line. The goal came 13 seconds after a Blue Jackets power play expired. Foligno scored his ninth goal at 16:15 to complete a 3-on-1 rush.
