However, it is worth noting that despite not scoring on powerplay chances, Colorado managed six shots during these advantages.

The faceoff circle saw both teams win exactly half of their draws at fifty-two each but it was Colorado's ability to convert possession into points that made the difference. Notably contributing to this victory was an empty-net goal which sealed Winnipeg’s fate late in the third period.
