Colorado at Winnipeg

Winnipeg has been playing better since that awful start, 1-1 the last two games, beating Carolina and a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay. Their defense is good, 16th in goals allowed and fourth in killing penalties. Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler scored versus the Lightning, and both have fared well against the Avalanche. The former has recorded five goals and seven assists in his last 10 meetings, while the latter scored the overtime goals to lift Winnipeg to a 2-1 triumph on Dec. 29th and a 5-4 win on March 19. The Jets are 4-1 against a team with a winning percentage below .400, and into town comes a struggling Colorado team, 1-3-1 away from home. Colorado is on a 2-8 run overall, 1-9 on the road. The offense is bad (22nd in goals) and the defense has been worse (23rd in goals allowed). Play Winnipeg!
