Second Period


In the second period, Winnipeg began showing signs of life with Morgan Barron scoring a shorthanded goal that narrowed Colorado's lead. However, despite this spark of momentum and strong defensive plays from Neal Pionk and Logan Stanley who combined for six hits during this game, they couldn't capitalize further on powerplay opportunities.
