Colorado Avalanche vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/26/26

The Winnipeg Jets will be hosting the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night. The Jets are sitting 5 points out of a wildcard playoff spot with on 11 games remaining on their schedule. They can’t afford to lose any games from here on out. They have a tough test ahead of them with the Avalanche coming to town. They are both the best offensive and defensive team in the NHL. On the bright side, the Jets are much better on home ice than on the road, boasting a 18-13-6 record on home ice. They will have Connor Hellebuyck starting in goal, and he will need a Hart Trophy caliber performance each and every game until the end of the regular season if the Jets have any hopes of making the playoffs.

I expect to see a veteran Jets lineup play with desperation against one of the leagues best teams. The are underdogs on home ice where they do most of their winning and I like the value. Give me the Jets in this one.
