The Colorado Avalanche are one win away from Round 2 after defeating the Winnipeg Jets 5-1 in Sunday's Game 4 to take a 3-1 series lead.
Valeri Nichushkin capped off a hat trick with an empty-netter to seal the victory.
Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Artturi Lehkonen each recorded multi-point efforts.
Alexandar Georgiev continued his stellar form since a disastrous Game 1, stopping 25 of 26 shots in the win. His counterpart, Vezina Trophy-favorite Connor Hellebuyck, was chased from the contest after allowing four goals on 30 shots through two periods.
Colorado lost 7-6 in Game 1 but have outscored Winnipeg 16-5 in three straight victories.
