Jets score shorthanded late in the period and it's Morgan Barron. Winnipeg cleared the puck and Barron won the foot race and snuck the backhand by Wedgewood. Barron has scored in back-to-back games against the Avalanche and has registered points in three out of his last four against Colorado.

Colton had missed three games. He played 12:37 with two shots, three hits and one block. The goal was Colton's first in 26 games (eight assists). We'd like to recommend him as a depth fill on your roster, but we need to see more offense before that's a sensible option.
