Number Six
Colorado Avalanche
Record: 11-6-4
Points: 26
The good news: Colorado has one of the best top lines in all the NHL. Mikko Rantanen leads the league with 32 points. Linemates Gabriel Landeskog and Nathan MacKinnon both have 13 goals. The bad? The Avalanche are 1-3-4 in games decided by a goal or less. Only St. Louis is worse. Either they score
Number Five
Winnipeg Jets
Record: 12-5-2
Points: 26
At home, the Jets are great. Against the Pacific Division, they have yet to lose a game in regulation. But, there is a bit of a concern. The Jets are 20th in goals scored. Last season, they earned 277 goals, second best in the league. Right now, they are on pace for 264 goals. Additionally, Connor Hellenbuyck is not playing up to his Vezina levels. He is saving only 87% of shots from middle-danger areas, and 82% of high-danger shots. The Flames just hammered the Jets with 5 goals in the first period last night. Ouch.
