from Mike Chambers of the Denver Post,

Behind Nathan MacKinnon’s 15th multipoint game of the season and Johnson’s overtime breakaway goal, the Avalanche defeated the Central Division-leading Jets 3-2 on Tuesday night at the Pepsi Center to collect its 20th victory and improve to 8-3-1 in its last 12 games.

“It’s fun for us,” Johnson said of winning in 3-on-3 OT after blowing a 2-0 third-period lead. “Kind of a fluky way for them to tie it in the third so it was good to get the two points ultimately. We had, I think, a 2-on-1, (it went) back and forth. They had a breakaway. Three-on-3, crazy stuff is going to happen.”

The Avs, who have two more games before reaching the midpoint of the NHL season, had just 22 victories all of last season. They are just five points from matching last season’s 48-point total.
