The Avs hosted Winnipeg to conclude their three game homestand before heading on the road for a back to back against Chicago and Nashville. Winnipeg has struggled all season and tonight was no different. The Avs controlled the puck from the opening faceoff and found themselves in the lead just under eight minutes in when Brandon Saad backhanded his own rebound past Hellebuyck. Just three minutes later the Avs doubled their lead. MacKinnon used his speed to burst through the center and create an odd man rush with Landeskog, the captain taking the feed from MacKinnon to bury his 24th of the season. Winnipeg cut the defecit to one late in the period on a fluke goal that deflected up and over Francouz and down into the net. The Avs would get a powerplay early in the middle frame but were unable to make it count, and just as the teams returned to even strength, veteran defenseman Erik Johnson took a penalty of his own. Winnipeg would put together a much better powerplay than the Avs had, and tie the game on a Blake Wheeler goal despite being outplayed for much of the contest. In the last minute of the second period, Bellemare would take over the game, scoring twice in 50 seconds. Up by two to start the final stanza, Colorado continued to dominate the game. Just under 8 minutes in Bellemare won a faceoff back to Graves who blasted a slap shot past Hellebuyck to make it 5-2 Colorado. The assist made it a 4 point night for the French centerman on a night when his line did the heavy lifting for Colorado. The Avs weren't done yet, Mikko Rantanen got in on the scoring as he collected a loose puck and beat Hellebuyck from close range to put the final touch on a 6-2 Avs victory.
