Leg 1: Colorado Avalanche Moneyline (-170)

The Avalanche and Jets split the first two games of their series in Winnipeg, with the series shifting to Colorado for Games 3 and 4.
The Avalanche put together a strong showing in Game 2, finishing with a 5-2 victory.
The Avalanche were the NHL’s most dominant home team in the regular season, posting a 31-9-1 record.
Although the Jets have had the Avs number lately, this is an excellent spot for Colorado, and the odds reflect that.
Despite some juice, we’re siding with the Avs to take Game 3 on the moneyline at -170.

Leg 2: Over 6.5 Total Goals (-106)

This is not to say that we will see a high-scoring affair in every game in this series, but there are some signs that this will continue.
Four straight matchups between the Jets and Avalanche have seen at least seven total goals scored.
The Avalanche’s goaltending situation is still a question after a decisive Game 2, and the Jets haven’t been fantastic in that department this series.
The over 6.5 presents value at -106, a number we’re comfortable with.

Leg 3: Mikko Rantanen to Record 3+ Shots on Goal (-210)

The Colorado Avalanche are loaded with superstars, yet Mikko Rantanen is often considered an afterthought.
Rantanen was dominant during the regular season, tallying 104 points in 80 games.
Rantanen has also been a playoff warrior and has registered 90 points in 72 career postseason games.
Rantanen has tallied at least three shots on goal in two of his last four games.
With the Avalanche returning home and Rantanen getting more favorable matchups, we like him to hit that mark again.
