Winnipeg Jets

Colorado Avalanche

Match Preview

One of the most intriguing duels in the first round of the NHL playoffs is the confrontation between Winnipeg and Colorado. The visitors are among the favorites to win the Stanley Cup, but the strong Canadian team will try to stop them. The first match of the series will take place on April 22nd at the "Canada Life Centre" arena in Winnipeg.

The hosts had a quality regular season, thanks to which they even fought for leadership in the Western Conference. At the finish, they delivered a series of eight wins, only three points behind Dallas. Winnipeg's trump card is their defense. Over the season, Rick Bowness's proteges conceded only 199 pucks, and this is the best indicator among all league teams.

Interestingly, the best attack will face off against the best defense. In the regular season, Colorado scored a whopping 304 pucks, thanks to which it took fourth place in the West. The main striking force of the "avalanche" is Nathan MacKinnon, who scored 140 points and was incredibly close to winning the "Art Ross Trophy".

Probable lineups:

Winnipeg: Hellebuyck – DeMelo, Schmidt – Vilardi, Lambert, Iafallo

Colorado: Georgiev – Makar, Toews – Rantanen, MacKinnon, Drouin

The hosts have only one loss - forward Barron, who can be done without. But the guests have more serious problems. Landeskog (missing the entire season), Girard, and O’Connor will not be able to help their teammates.

The choice of bet in this case is quite simple. Both teams have been playing high-scoring games lately, and the upcoming meeting also promises to be rich in goals.
