Avalanche, Jets to meet in 1st round of playoffs
by Josh Gold-Smith from on (#6M28Q)
The Colorado Avalanche and Winnipeg Jets will battle in the opening round of the postseason.
Neither club has secured home-ice advantage for the series. That will be decided by which team finishes higher in the Central Division. The Jets sit in second place with a two-point lead on the third-ranked Avalanche through 80 games for both squads.
Winnipeg thumped Colorado 7-0 on Saturday to sweep the three-game season series.
The Avalanche and Jets have never played each other in the playoffs.
The postseason begins next Saturday.
