8:05 PM EST. It has been a long, long time since the Jets last played a game. While a week is certainly not a lifetime, it has been a long stretch of practice after practice after practice for Winnipeg. Because of the travel schedule, the Jets have only played two games in the past 12 day. Being off for a long stretch usually results with said team needing some time to get up to speed. Edmonton had a big edge in the first 10 minutes in Florida last night but Roberto Luongo prevented the Oil from taking a two or three goal lead and Florida eventually got it going but unlike the Panthers, Winnipeg is not a desperate team at the moment. It’s also worth noting that Connor Hellebuyck’s numbers are trending wrong with a below average .907 save percentage over his last four starts.

The Avs boast one of the best offenses in the league, as they rank fourth in goals per game with 3.53. We absolutely love that this hard-working Colorado team is getting desperate for a win, as they haven’t won a game since October 26th against the Senators. Since then, they have lost four straight but it’s not from a lack of talent or poor play. The Avs have lost four of their last five games by one goal. One goal wins or losses are complete luck. They had a 1-0 loss to the Bolts, 3-2 to Minnesota, 7-6 in OT against Vancouver and a 6-5 loss to Calgary. We trust we’re going to get a spirited effort out the Avs here in an attempt to halt their losing streak and while the Jets are tough, this is a very vulnerable spot for the host.

Therefore:

OT included - Colorado +157 for 1 unit.

Regulation only - Colorado -½ +235 for 1 unit.
