Franchise Mode Game 16 Colorado Avalanche at Winnipeg Jets

Looking to continue their red hot start to the season, the Avalanche travelled to Winnipeg to take on the struggling division rival Jets. The 1st period was low event, with most of the play happening in the neutral zone or along the boards. The Avs were able to take a 1-0 lead however, with Athanasiou causing a turnover at the blue line and using his speed to beat Hellebuyck on a breakaway. Starting the 2nd with the lead, the Avalanche turned up the pressure and started to put more shots on the outstanding Winnipeg goaltender. He was able to weather the storm until late in the period when Rantanen collected a loose puck along the boards and beat Hellebuyck high glove side for his 10th goal of the season. Entering the 3rd with a 2 goal lead the Avs looked to see the game out but their lead was cut in half when Laine beat Grubauer from the slot on the powerplay. The Avs were able to escape with the win, courtesy of an Erik Johnson empty net goal with 0:02 remaining.
