00:00The Colorado Avalanche are playing their game and they're able to find the backup Conor

00:07Hellebuyck's net. He just hasn't been a goalie that I'm trusting right now versus the Avs.

00:13But when we look at this matchup here, we're going to have to see the Winnipeg Jets really

00:18step up on defense, give Conor Hellebuyck that support. Colorado in goal, Georgieff,

00:25he was weak in that first game and he has bounced back in those other two. Looking at

00:30this game, I'm going to have to look at that first period. I really do think the Jets have

00:35to start controlling this game, playing their game, locking down on defense, and giving

00:40Conor Hellebuyck more support. And Conor Hellebuyck really needs to stand tall in that net today

00:46because right now his numbers are faith worthy in this series. He's got a 5.05 goals against

00:52average. The Colorado Avalanche are picking him apart out there. So it's kind of a scary

00:57bet. I'm looking at the under 1.5 in the first period at plus 118. But I do think it's the

01:02best bet here for the Winnipeg Jets to be able to lock down in that first period. Come the

01:08second and the third though, Kevin, I'm afraid to look at this total because we know the

01:12Avs have found a way in each and every one of these games. Nathan McKinnon really stepping

01:16up his game. Same with Kael McCarr. So I won't be shocked if the full game goes over. But I

01:21do think that first period stays under the 1.5.
