Jets vs Avalanche Pick
Money Line Pick For Jets vs Avalanche
- Avalanche -1.5 (+105) (4 units)
The Avalanche have won three games in a row and they look to take over this game from the first period. The Avalanche, who have scored 15 goals in their last three games, should find the back of the net at will with Nathan MacKinnon, Martin Necas, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Avalanche, who allow only 2.21 goals per game, should limit the Jets offense, which averages only 2.94 goals per game, with Cale Makar, Devon Toews, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net allowing goaltender Scott Wedgewood to make plenty of big saves. The Avalanche should win the game and cover the spread in a dominant win on their home ice.
Over/Under Pick For Jets vs Avalanche
- Under 6 (5 Units)
The Jets and Avalanche have great defenses that look to make this game a low-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Jets, who have allowed only five goals in their last three games, should limit the Avalanche offense with Josh Morrissey, Dylan DeMelo, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to make plenty of big saves. The Avalanche, who have allowed only seven goals in their last three games, should eliminate the Jets offense, which has scored only two goals in their last two games, with Cale Makar, Devon Toews, Josh Manson, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in all three zones while goaltender Scott Wedgewood, who has allowed only seven goals in his last four starts, blanks the shots on the net. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.
Take the Under on 6 goals.
