(55) Colorado Avalanche at (56) Winnipeg Jets
Winnipeg Jets -115…(4%)
I'm high on the Winnipeg Jets entering the post-season, and I like this match-up for them. The Jets don't have superstars like Mackinnon, Rantanen, and Makar, but they have depth and defence. Their MVP is their goaltender, which is huge when it comes to playoff hockey.
Having home ice is also significant. Getting the last chance will be great for the Jets to get the match-up of their choice, both offensively and defensively. Adding Toffoli and Monahan at the deadline was huge for the Jets, two veteran players who are proven players in tight-checking games.
With the season series being 3-0 in favor of the Jets, and the goaltending edge clearly benefiting Winnipeg, I believe they'll get the better of Colorado in Game 1.
Play the JETS on the ML.
