Avalanche vs. Jets Prediction and Odds (Jets To Snap Losing Streak in Must-Win Contest)
By Joe Summers
The 50-14-6 Colorado Avalanche bring a four-game winning streak into Winnipeg today as they take on the 33-28-10 Jets at 8:00 PM EST.
Winnipeg has lost three straight as their offense has only mustered six goals in that span.
Colorado has two dominant wins over the Jets this year by a combined score of 13-4. Can the Avalanche stay hot or will the home underdogs snap out of their funk?

Avalanche vs Jets Prediction and Pick
Colorado has been absolutely dominant as we approach the playoffs. They've won nine of 11 games, allowing just 2.09 goals per game in that stretch. Meanwhile, the Jets are in must-win mode but have played poorly of late.
However, the Avalanche haven't been nearly as strong on the road as they are at home. Colorado has actually lost three of their last five as a road favorite and take on a Winnipeg squad that's won three of their previous four as a home underdog.
Jets' goalie Connor Hellebuyck has allowed two or fewer goals in four of this last six and I think he stays hot tonight.
This is a situation where everything is telling us to side with the Avalanche. They're rolling and have two dominant wins over a struggling Winnipeg team. But we're in the business of scrapping out value where we can, and I think the Jets have a great chance to snap their three-game losing streak today.
Give me Winnipeg to improve to 4-1 in their last five as a home underdog.
Pick: Jets ML (+160)
