The Winnipeg Jets enter this game in a position to clinch the franchises second ever playoff berth with a win tonight. To accomplish that they have to be the vaunted terrible Colorado Avalanche. Surely this game will end up a complete and utter mess like every other Jets/Avalanche game ever.
A win tonight puts the Jets into the playoffs for the first time since the team moved to Winnipeg.
