Colorado at Winnipeg

Colorado winds up an incredible seven-game road trip here. Despite a skid the offense has been fine, scoring three goals in each of the last two games, as well as 13 the last four. For the season Colorado is 10th in the NHL in goals scored and activates Semyon Varlamov tonight, who has missed the last seven games due to a groin injury. The Avalanche are 7-2 following a loss of three or more goals, plus 6-1 after allowing five goals or more in their previous game. They face a Winnipeg squad that is hovering around the .500 mark with weak overall numbers, in the middle of the pack in goals scored, 26th in goals allowed, 26th on the power play, and 17th in penalty killing. Winnipeg lost goalie Ondrej Pavelec to a lower-body injury after two periods in Saturday's 3-2 home win over Arizona. Pavelec won't be available, and the Jets have recalled Connor Hellebuyck from the minors. They are a big favorite despite being on a 2-6 slide, so grab the dog with the Top 10 offense. Play Colorado.
