WINNIPEG -While the Winnipeg Jets have performed well during the absence of Bryan Little due to injury, the Colorado Avalanche proved they can do the same with injuries in their line-up.
Nathan MacKinnon scored twice while Cale Makar and Joonas Donskoi added singles in a 4-0 Avalanche win over the Jets (10-8-1), who saw their five-game point streak come to an end.
"It was a frustrating game. I thought on a couple of goals, it felt like we were right there. The pucks didn't go our way a couple times," said Josh Morrissey, who finished with 20:12 of ice time. "We had a lot of good chances. Give them credit, their goalie made some big saves. We're playing really good hockey. Our record shows that here over the last little while. It's a tough league to win in.
"This is one that you feel like you do a lot of good things and you end up with nothing to show for it."
