Burns, Necas give Avalanche early lead in 3-2 win over Jets for 12th straight home win

On Friday, the Colorado Avalanche beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 at Ball Arena, extending a 12-game home winning streak and moving to 14-0-2 in Denver.
Early in the first period, Burns produced the opener and Necas added a second, with Brent Burns' goal deflecting off Haydn Fleury and Necas finishing a Nathan MacKinnon feed.
Parker Kelly's third-period deflection made it 3-1 and goaltending held thereafter, with Scott Wedgewood finishing with 20 saves and Connor Hellebuyck having 23 stops.
At 25-2-7, the Avalanche now have 57 points and sit among historic single-season paces, tying the 2022-23 Boston Bruins and 2008-09 San Jose Sharks, while the Jets’ loss extended their skid to three games and dropped them to 3-9-1 on the road.
Colorado enters this stretch 6-0-1 since Dec. 4 and has earned points in 24 of 25 games, with the home streak the longest this NHL season and second-longest start for the Avalanche.
