This is a great situational spot for the home team. Winnipeg is rested and plays its sixth home game over the last seven contests. This is the start of a four-game road trip for Colorado, a team ranked #15 in goals scored and #21 in goals allowed. The Colorado Avalanche lose captain Gabriel Landeskog for the next three games because of a suspension. Colorado has lost two in a row on the road and go with goalie Semyon Varlamov, who has been shaky in two of his last four starts. The home team is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings, so back home ice and play Winnipeg.
