Players To Watch:
Colorado Avalanche
Nathan MacKinnon has been a force for the Colorado Avalanche this season, and he’ll look to make sure he’s the biggest key to success for the Avalanche’s pursuit of a win against Winnipeg tonight.
Winnipeg Jets
Morgan Barron has had a big season for Winnipeg so far, and even when he sat on the sidelines due to injuries, he still got back on the right foot. Barron’s played a crucial role in the Jets’ bottom six, and he’ll look to be a main contributor against the Central Division’s powerhouse.
