The first winning streak of the season for the Winnipeg Jets has begun. With tonight's 1-0 victory over the Colorado Avalanche, it represents the first shutout for a Winnipeg goaltender for 2016-2017, the first back-to-back win and the first winning streak at, well, two.
Hey, it's a start.
Micheal Hutchinson recorded the goose egg for the Jets, while Shawn Matthias netted the game's only goal on assists from Joel Armia and Joshua Morrisey. It was Hutchinson's first shutout since January 15, 2015 against Columbus.
Patrik Laine was held scorless while garnering only two shots on net. This doesn't include a shot from just over the Jets side of center that went of the side of the net while the Avalanche had pulled Semyon Varlamov late in the third.
