Colorado is the No. 3 scoring team in the league. Injuries to Gabriel Landesko, Nazem Kadri and Valeri Nichushkin haven't taken the steam out of Colorado's attack. The Avalanche are averaging 4.3 goals in their last three games. The Jets have surrendered 13 goals in their last three games and rank 27th in penalty kill.

The Jets are in must-win mode so they'll be going all out here with their playoff hopes just about nil. That means pulling their goalie early if trailing during the final few minutes of the third period.

Note, too, that this has been an Over series with the high end cashing seven of the last 10 times.
