Fight between Jets and Avalanche fans turns bloody

A fight broke out between fans of the NHL's Colorado Avalanche and Winnipeg Jets Tuesday night, and it turned bloody when a Winnipeg fan hit the boards.

That was when a Jets fan stepped in to intervene, but he was pushed and tumbled down the stairs of the lower bowl, hitting his head along the boards and causing a gash.
