 Jets 6, Avalanche 2
Bryan Little scored three goals for the Winnipeg Jets -- the
franchise's first hat-trick in nearly four years -- in a convincing
victory over the worn-out Colorado Avalanche.
Little scored his ninth, 10th and 11th goals of the season,
including two in the first 77 seconds of the third period, to snap
the longest drought of any team in the NHL without a hat-trick.
The franchise's last three-goal game was by Eric Boulton on Dec. 18,
2010, before their move from Atlanta to Winnipeg.
Jarome Iginla notched his fifth and sixth goals of the season for
the Avalanche (9-12-6), who looked sluggish from the outset after
playing the night before in Calgary.

Ducks 5, Wild 4
Tim Jackman and Matt Beleskey scored third-period goals for the
Anaheim Ducks, who rallied to beat the Minnesota Wild.
Trailing 4-3 in the final period in a game they had led 3-0, Jackman
and Beleskey both fooled Minnesota goalie Darcy Kuemper with low
shots as the Ducks (17-6-5) won their third in a row, and their
fifth consecutive game in Minnesota.
