The Winnipeg Jets and the Colorado Avalanche meet in NHL action from the Ball Arena on Thursday. Let’s dive into the odds, matchup history and make a prediction for this game.
Odds
Colorado is a -155 home favorite while Winnipeg is a +135 road underdog. The total for this game is set at 6 goals.
Matchup History
Colorado’s 5-1 win over Winnipeg back on February 24th, 2023, snapped Winnipeg’s three-game win streak in this head-to-head matchup.
Trends
Winnipeg is 22-8 in their last 30 division games and 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 23-5 in their last 28 road games. Colorado is 36-17 in their last 53 division games and 80-33 in their last 113 home games while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing Colorado here. The Avalanche are the only team with anything to play for here, as they’re still fighting for the Central division while the Jets are locked into a wild card spot and are just playing out the final game at this point. I also have to think the Jets are a biit tired after this run to get into the playoffs and I could see the backup goalie going here for Winnipeg after 13 straight starts from Connor Hellebuyck.
