The best comeback team in the NHL during the regular season did it again in its first home game of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Colorado Avalanche quickly erased a one-goal deficit early in the third period and got plenty of help from a suddenly undisciplined Winnipeg Jets club en route to a 6-2 victory Friday night at Ball Arena in Game 3 of this opening-round series.

Grade: B+
A solid grade for Denver on two fronts and with one caveat. The Broncos hit a position of need at No.
Almost anything in football can be viewed in relation to the quarterback.
The premium positions beside the guy under center? Those who can protect him, impact him or make plays in the passing game for him.

“I know my role, OK?” David Morris, Bo Nix’s personal QB coach and founder of QB Country, told me with a chuckle. “And I’m not up there to try and tell Sean Payton how to coach quarterbacks.
