Carter Brooks Winnipeg Jets Postgame Report The Winnipeg Jets are set to face the Colorado Avalanche in Game 3 of their Stanley Cup Playoffs opening round matchup. Entering the game with the series tied at ones, the Jets will look to salvage at least a split on the road to head back to Winnipeg with the hopes of pulling head in Game 5 on Tuesday. Beginning the best-of-seven with an absurd 7-6 victory, Winnipeg lost control in Game 2, falling 5-2 to the Avs, which saw much better goaltending from Alexander Georgiev. Connor Hellebuyck - on the other hand - has given up 10 goals in just two games - something no one was expecting from the runaway Vezina Trophy leader this past season. Winnipeg will go with a similar set of players in Colorado, as head coach Rick Bowness hopes to change the result with nearly the same crew. The only change will see Nate Schmidt come in for Logan Stanley on the blueline. Winnipeg Jets expected line combinations for Friday, April 26 at Colorado: Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi Ehlers-Monahan-Toffoli Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton Gustafsson-Namestnikov-Iafallo Morrissey-DeMelo Dillon-Pionk Schmidt-Samberg Injured: Barron Healthy scratches: Kupari, Perfetti, Stanley, Miller Puck drop is set for roughly 9:15 PM central time, while the game can be viewed live on Sportsnet and CBC.
