Colorado authored one of its best performances of the season in the loss.
Colorado Avalanche goaltender Alexandar Georgiev saves the shot from Winnipeg Jets’ Morgan Barron during the second period of an NHL hockey game Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. For about 58 minutes, the Colorado Avalanche played a fantastic game at Canada Life Center in Winnipeg.
Gabriel Vilardi scored 66 seconds in, and that was enough for the Jets to fend off the Avs in a 1-0 game Thursday night. Alexandar Georgiev easily had his best game of the season. The offensive stars all played well, but couldn’t beat Hellebuyck. Samuel Girard was the lone guy back and it was definitely not the best 2-on-1 defense of his career. Scheifele got Georgiev to square up for a potential shot, then the goaltender lunged across and was on his stomach by the time Vilardi calmly flipped the puck past him. In hindsight, it looked like Georgiev might have had enough time to just slide across in his butterfly stance, which might have given him more of a chance to make the save.
