Colorado Avalanche vs Winnipeg Jets prediction

The Colorado Avalanche are the better team on paper, and they should get out of this funk eventually, but it’s hard to back them in their current form, especially on the road. The Winnipeg Jets are having their best week or so of the season, and they beat the Avs on the road 4-2 last week. I have to ride the hot hand in this matchup. Give me the Jets and the reasonable price.
