Jet's and Avalanche Ready for Western Conference Showdown with High-Powered Talent on Both Sides

The Avalanche boast an impressive 3.59 goals per game, a number bolstered by the impressive forward unit of Nathan Mackinnon, Mikko Rantanen and others. On the defensive end, Cale Makar, Devon Toews and the rest of the defensive unit are sure to create turnovers and limit shooting lanes for the Jets, which should provide Alexandar Georgiev an opportunity to make important saves.
