Winnipeg Jets vs. Colorado Avalanche Prediction

I’m on the Avalanche here. I get the case to be made for an underdog in some spots and Winnipeg still has one of the better goalies in the league in Hellebuyck, but I thought getting Hellebuyck back would aid their problems and that’s clearly not the case right now, as Winnipeg continues to struggle. Colorado has been taking care of business on a consistent basis and I think they do it again in this one. Give me Colorado.
