Colorado is on game one of a back-to-back series where they intend to keep their season-opening winning streak intact. The Avalanche are also expecting to bring banged-up forward Logan O\u2019Connor and Zachary L\u2019Heureux on the road trip for a potential season debut against Winnipeg.<\/p>\n
Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:<\/p>\n
Winnipeg is back home for a pair of games, and the first is against the undefeated Colorado Avalanche. The Jets are coming off a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins that included a fiery third period. The Jets will likely look to Stuart Skinner tonight for the start as they continue to play a lot of hockey over the next little bit.<\/p>\n

Players To Watch:<\/p>\n
Colorado Avalanche<\/p>\n
Nathan MacKinnon makes his first appearance at Canada Life Centre this season, and he\u2019ll likely be a massive factor for the Avalanche as they search for another win.<\/p>\n
Devon Toews has always been a steady defenseman for the Avalanche, and he\u2019ll look to be a key factor for the Avalanche tonight against the Jets.<\/p>\n
Winnipeg Jets<\/p>\n
Mark Scheifele has been held pointless through his first three games of the season, and it feels like he\u2019s due for a productive game soon.<\/p>\n
Tyrel Bauer has been a difference maker for the Jets throughout his first two games. He brings an element of physicality that the Jets lacked in previous seasons, and against a division rival, Bauer can utilize that in the Jets\u2019 favour.<\/p>\n
