Avalanche vs Jets NHL Picks: Bet on Scheifele to Score a Goal (+179) 11/7

It seems hard to believe that the star-studded Colorado Avalanche are already 12 points behind the Winnipeg Jets in the NHL’s Central Division standings heading into the first meeting of the season between the division rivals. Winnipeg is favored against Colorado for only the second time in the last 13 regular-season matchups.

The teams engaged in an entertaining series in the 2024 playoffs with five of the six games landing over the total. When checking Avalanche vs Jets betting trends, remember that just one of the last 10 games between Colorado and Winnipeg went under the total.

Winnipeg won the lone home game against Colorado during the 2023-24 regular season with the teams splitting the two games in Denver.

The spread has Winnipeg priced at -135 to improve its NHL-leading record to 13-1. Colorado has +115 odds to win for just the second time in the last five regular-season road games in Winnipeg.

Despite the slow start, Colorado is seventh at +1400 in the odds of winning the Stanley Cup. The NHL futures odds have Winnipeg tied for eighth at +1600 in the championship odds.

3 NHL Picks for Avalanche vs Jets

1. Makar’s Availability Could Impact Betting Odds

Eight players for Colorado averaged at least a point per game led by Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Cale Makar each finishing with two goals and seven assists. Valeri Nichushkin had seven goals in the series but he is currently suspended. Artturi Lehkonen scored five times for the Avalanche. Makar was injured in Colorado’s last game as he has made an appearance on the injury report. He is considered to be day-to-day.

Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor combined for five goals and six assists. That is something to consider when looking at the NHL predictions for this match.

MacKinnon and Makar are currently first and second in the NHL in scoring with 25 and 23 points. Connor and Scheifele have combined for 16 goals and 20 assists so there are plenty of NHL player prop options to consider.

Colorado’s last five games landed over the total. Getting defenseman Devon Toews back after he missed four games should help.

Colorado has already allowed at least five goals on seven occasions this season.

Winnipeg is a better defensive team right now than Colorado but six of Winnipeg’s last seven games landed over as well.

3. Go With The Jets To Win

It is pretty hard to pick against the Winnipeg Jets right now with everything clicking for the team with the best record in the NHL. We don’t love the Jets enough to go with Winnipeg at +176 to cover the 1.5 puck line but the -140 odds for Winnipeg to win outright is worth taking a look at.

Colorado has a better record on the road (3-2) than at home (3-5), so it won’t be a surprise to see this end as a one-goal affair.
