Match announcement
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg leads the Western Conference standings and currently has 24 points. The team has already broken away from its closest pursuer by five points and continues to demonstrate excellent results. Since the very beginning of the season, it has suffered only one defeat and, therefore, lost only two points. This happened in the confrontation with Toronto (4:6), after which the Jets were not at all discouraged and showed a series of four victories. We emphasize that they managed to deal with Detroit and Columbus on the road with the same score (6:2), and already on the home court they proved their superiority over Tampa (7:4) and Utah (3:0).
In the last match, Scott Arniel team finally showed an extremely reliable game in defense and did not miss any goals. We should also note the goalkeeper, Connor Hellebuyck, who also did a great job with his duties and parried a total of 21 shots. This season, Winnipeg is counting not only on its ideal game in defense, but has also significantly improved in attack. By the way, today the club is the most scoring in the league and has already managed to score 62 goals. Plus, the team plays great in the 5x4 format and now has a crazy percentage of extra-time conversion - 44.4%. The main scorer on the team is Kyle Connor, who gets a lot of playing time and fully justifies it, because the forward has already scored 19 points in the goal + pass system.

Interesting trends for betting
- Winnipeg is 25-8 in goals scored and allowed in the third period.
The Jets are playing very reliably in the final twenty minutes and allowing a minimum number of chances near their goal
- The Jets are receiving 5.92 penalty minutes per game.
In this regard, the team is one of the most disciplined in the league and rarely gets sent off more than three times per game.
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado is definitely not as good this season as it was last season, but it will still be within the playoff zone and have some good streaks from time to time. Since the beginning of the year, the team has been alternating a good streak with a losing streak and is not changing this trend. Incidentally, the Avalanche were recently on a three-game losing streak. They lost 2-5 at home to Chicago and Tampa, and on the road, they lost to Nashville again with the same score. Fortunately, in the last game against Seattle on home ice, Jared Bednar team played much better in attack and won 6-3.
However, once again, three pucks ended up in his net. In general, the club is currently the most conceding in the West and usually allows the opponent to score at least three or four times. Plus, the Avalanche occupy one of the last positions in the championship in terms of shorthanded play, because they have only 68.6% of neutralization of the opponent majority. Of course, they all rely on their impeccable play in attack and excellent realization of moments, but such recklessness leaves them outside the top eight. As a rule, Colorado does not play the best in the first and third game segments, but in the second period, surprisingly, they concede the least and have the same ratio of goals scored and conceded - 14:14.
Disqualifications and injuries
Landeskog, Druen, Wood, Colton and Makar will not take part in the upcoming fight
Interesting trends for betting
- Colorado wins 45.9% of faceoffs
Today, the club remains one of the worst in the league in this indicator and often loses at the point
- The Avalanche average 31 shots on goal per game.
The Avalanche rely entirely on their attack and spend a lot of time in the opponent zone
Trends
Bet 3rd period: home team win
Winnipeg has had a third-period win in its last five games.
2.30Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In three out of four matches involving visitors, the first period was productive
1.72Tip and bets
Winnipeg is in great shape and has only lost once since the start of the season. Colorado hasn't had a good run of results lately and just snapped a three-game losing streak. The Jets are particularly strong at home and don't allow themselves to do much. Bednar team also has a poor defense, while the Air Army is doing much better in this regard. It also worth noting that the Air Army is currently the most productive team. Based on the above, we suggest betting on the home team success.
Forecast - Winnipeg win in 2.15
Bet on individual total
On average, Colorado has conceded at least three or four goals since the start of the season, especially when playing away. Winnipeg, in turn, has greatly improved its attack and is making great use of its chances. In addition, all the leaders are in excellent shape and continue to earn points on a regular basis. In our opinion, the Jets should score at least four goals when playing against a weak defense.
We bet on Winnipeg individual total of more than three goals for 1.70
Total Bet
Previous meetings between the clubs were spectacular and productive even in the playoffs. The Jets are playing more open hockey this season, since they themselves play well in attack and have no problems with scoring. Colorado, in general, is counting only on playing on opposite courses. We think that in this confrontation we can see at least six goals.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.55
