In a must-win Game 2, the Colorado Avalanche responded with a solid performance, defeating the Winnipeg Jets 5-2 to tie the first-round series. Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev rebounded from a tough Game 1, making key saves, while defenseman Josh Manson atoned for his Game 1 errors with a strong outing that included a game-winning goal. Colorado’s bottom two lines also contributed, with Miles Wood and Yakov Trenin playing pivotal roles in the victory.
