Recap: Avs lose 3-2 to Jets on last minute goal

The Colorado Avalanche faced their first regulation loss of the season in a hard-fought 3-2 defeat to the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night. The Jets capitalized on a late surge, with Kyle Connor scoring twice—including the game-winner in the final minute—to secure the victory.

The Avalanche struggled to sustain momentum after a strong second-period start, where they outshot Winnipeg 17-6 but failed to capitalize on key chances. Cale Makar made headlines with a 101.9 mph shot, the hardest of the season so far, but Colorado’s offensive production was limited to goals from Jaden Schwartz and Fedor Svechkov, who both made their debuts in an Avalanche uniform.

Winnipeg’s goaltending issues continued to plague them, as Mackenzie Blackwood allowed two goals, while Stuart Skinner held strong despite a late-game collapse. The Jets remain unbeaten in regulation this season, while the Avalanche’s defense and goaltending will need to improve after a frustrating loss.
