Colorado must win at home

Colorado’s record on the road in Winnipeg is not the best, as former Avalanche goalie Pavel Francouz has also said. MacKinnon and his teammates should make important steps towards the promotion in home games. Colorado must first of all solidify the defense, because 9 goals scored in 2 games is not a great record, not only for the defense, but for the whole team.

The team is led in points by Canadian defenseman Cale Makar. He has already contributed 5 points in 2 games and is tied for 2nd place in the Canadian scoring table. Only Marchand and McDavid are more productive in the playoffs, with 6 points.

Winnipeg wants to confirm that they are doing well in Colorado

3 wins from the last 4 games on Colorado ice, in the long run 4 wins in 7 games, these are the stats of Winnipeg in Ball Arena. The opening 7:6 win just showed that the Jets can really take on their opponent. An important mental factor can be the result from the middle of March, when Winnipeg won 0:7 in Colorado!

There are no more than 2 players in the Canadian scoring. The first one is Kyle Connor, who has 2 goals and 2 assists so far, and Mark Scheifele is doing the same. From a percentage point of view the series is not going well at all for Connor Helebuyck, who only caught 87% of the shots in both games, in terms of a balanced series he doesn’t have to deal with that yet.

Betting tip – Winnipeg to lose

As already mentioned, Winnipeg is doing well on Colorado’s ice and the players would definitely like to confirm that in the upcoming game. Only once in the last 5 games Winnipeg failed to give Colorado at least 4 goals, so far the Avalanche’s passable defense will probably get 4 goals this time as well. Makar has been a key player for the Avalanche so far, he has always recorded at least 2 points in the previous games, which he should be able to do in Game 3 of the series.
