Second straight road game for Colorado, a team that is #24 in the NHL in goals allowed. They come off Saturday's 2-1 loss to Columbus, falling behind in the first minute for its third defeat in the last four. Colorado has been limited to seven goals in the last four games. Goalie Semyon Varlamov goes tonight, having lost consecutive starts, and he has a 3.75 GAA over a 3-4-2 span. In Winnipeg, he's 2-3-1 with a 3.64 GAA, and .877 save percentage. Winnipeg is starting a six-game homestand, as well as in the middle of a stretch playing nine of 10 at home. They have won two in a row, beating Nashville, 5-4, and winning at Minnesota Friday, 1-0. They are unbeaten in January (3-0-1), plus on a 7-3 run at home. The scoring has come from Blake Wheeler, who has three goals and an assist in his last four games and 16 points in his last 15 games. Rookie goalie Connor Hellebuyck recorded his second shutout in his last 10 games, over which he's 6-3-1 with a 1.70 goals-against average and .942 save percentage. With the home team 8-1 when these teams line up, grab home ice. Play Winnipeg.
