The good early-season form of the Winnipeg Jets will face a huge challenge on Wednesday as the Colorado Avalanche visit the Canada Life Centre. Colorado has scored 14 goals across its first two games of the season.
Last Wednesday, the Avalanche rocked the Los Angeles Kings with an 8-4 win, then rolled to a 6-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday. The team looks as dangerous as ever and will be tough for any opponent to stop.
Winnipeg has outperformed expectations so far this season. With Connor Hellebuyck away from the team, many expected the Jets to stumble out of the gate, but they have a good 2-1-0 record. Even without Hellebuyck, Scott Arniel’s side has looked strong defensively, allowing eight goals in three games.
On Wednesday night, the Jets’ defense will face a completely different test. Colorado arrives in town with four players averaging at least two points per game this season. They can roll out four strong lines, putting the opposition under constant pressure.
With a .908 save percentage, Stuart Skinner has made a decent start as a Jet, but he’s no Hellebuyck. It’s likely only a matter of time before Winnipeg starts to miss the 2025 MVP.

Our Winnipeg Jets vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction
Colorado is scoring goals for fun and will carry strong momentum into Wednesday’s game. They are full of confidence and should be eager to improve their record in this matchup. While Colorado has been a dominant force in the league in recent years, Winnipeg has won nine of the last 12 regular-season meetings between the two.
Head-to-head clashes have mostly been tight, but this time around, Winnipeg might struggle to keep the score down without Hellebuyck.
Our prediction for Winnipeg Jets vs. Colorado Avalanche: Avalanche over 3.5 goals.
