Colorado vs Winnipeg Prediction 27 April 2024
Match Preview
Winnipeg managed to take only one home game, so the series moves to Colorado with the score tied at 1-1. The third match will take place on April 27th at the Ball Arena in Denver, where the "Avalanche" are considered clear favorites.
Colorado lost the first duel, failing to catch up with the opponent in a crazy shootout. Goalie Georgiev had a very weak game, but in the second match, he improved, thanks to which Jared Bednar's charges managed to even the score in the series. The "Avalanche" played great and took a well-deserved victory.
Winnipeg had a successful start in the second match and led by the middle of the second period, but failed to increase the gap, and the opponent took over. Thus, Rick Bowness’s team's nine-game winning streak was broken. The "Jets" had not lost since the beginning of April, but this time they did not play their best. Even the reliable goalie Hellebuyck made a mistake.
Projected lineups:
Colorado: Georgiev - Makar, Toews - Rantanen, MacKinnon, Parise
Winnipeg: Hellebuyck - DeMelo, Schmidt - Vilardi, Lambert, Iafallo
The hosts have significant losses in their lineup. Landeskog, Girard, Annunen, and Drouin will not be able to help their teammates. The absence of the latter is especially critical. The guests have no injury problems.
Winnipeg has all its strongest players available, and this gives the team an advantage over the opponent. The "Jets" looked good in the first matches, so we believe that they are fully capable of holding their own even on foreign ice.
