Colorado Avalanche Shine at Home, Winnipeg Jets Struggle on the Road

The Colorado Avalanche have demonstrated strong performance in their recent home games, winning three out of their last five matchups. Conversely, the Winnipeg Jets have struggled on the road, losing three of their last four games away from home. Colorado's offensive prowess is evident, with 10 goals scored in their last three home games, coupled with an impressive power play conversion rate of over 20 percent. On the other hand, the Jets have shown weakness defensively, conceding 12 goals in their last three road games and possessing an average penalty-killing record. Winnipeg's offensive output has also been lackluster, scoring seven goals in their last three games, despite a strong power play conversion rate exceeding 32 percent. Given Colorado's defensive stability, allowing just 12 goals in their last four home games, it is likely that the Avalanche will be able to contain the Jets' offense. Therefore, it is recommended to favor Colorado in this matchup.
