DENVER -- Goaltender Reto Berra had a season-high 41 saves and stopped both shooters in the shootout for his first career shutout and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Winnipeg Jets 1-0 on Thursday night.

Centers Ryan O'Reilly and Matt Duchene scored in the shootout to give Colorado its second straight win.

The Jets earned a point and still clinched the second wild card when the Los Angeles Kings lost at Calgary, 3-1.

Goaltender Ondrej Pavelec had 21 saves but didn't make one in the shootout. Despite the loss he extended his shutout streak to 187 minutes, 5 seconds.

The Jets last made the playoffs in 2006-07 when the franchise was known as the Atlanta Thrashers. The team moved to Winnipeg before the 2011-12 season.

This will be the first time the city hosts and NHL playoff game since 1996, the year before the original Winnipeg Jets moved to Phoenix and became the Coyotes.

The Avalanche are playing out the string in a frustrating season. Before the game general manager Joe Sakic spoke about the disappointment of missing the playoffs a year after earning 112 points and winning the Central Division. He said the team never recovered from its slow start.

"Last year, we know we weren't as good as 112 points," he said. "This year, I think we're a better than what we've performed."

Pavelec didn't need to do much to extend his shutout streak. He came into Thursday on the heels of two straight shutouts and 122:05 of game time without allowing a goal. Colorado managed just 11 shots through the first two periods

Berra, the shaky backup who played sparingly since early December, turned in his best performance of the season.
