Avs Outlast Jets in Shootout

Matt Duchene and P.A. Parenteau scored in the shootout, and the Colorado Avalanche stopped a two-game losing skid with a 4-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night.

Duchene also scored twice and added an assist in regulation. Ryan O’Reilly had a goal and an assist for the Avalanche (21-9).

Blake Wheeler scored twice, Michael Frolik added another goal, and Grant Clitsome had a pair of assists for Winnipeg (14-4-5).

Duchene gave the Avalanche a 3-2 lead with his second of the night, scored with 1.6 seconds left in the second period. He backhanded a rebound into the open side of the net as goalie Ondrej Pavelec tried to slide back.

But Winnipeg used its fifth power play to tie it 3-3 at 10:00 of the third period on Wheeler’s second goal.
