Same-Game Parlay Leg 1: OVER 6.5 (-118)

In our expert picks today, I also lean in favor of the OVER here. The first three games of the series destroyed the point total. Sure, last game we saw the UNDER just hit after a pathetic one-goal performance from Winnipeg.

But hey, now the Jets soar home and have their backs against the wall. They need to win. They need to score. I expect a better offensive output tonight.

Oh, and don't worry about Colorado's scoring capabilities, they have yet to notch fewer than five goals.

Same-Game Parlay Leg 2: Lehkonen Anytime Goal

I said it last time around and I'll say it again -- this second line cannot be stopped. Lehkonen has scored in every meeting this series and has notched at least one point in 12 of his last 13 performances dating back to the regular season.

Lining up with Mittelstadt, this pairing is controlling the ice every shift. With 18 shots in the last four meetings, I am more than happy to take Lehky to hit the back of the net tonight.

It's incredible how quickly the Avs put the puck in the Jets' net after the turnover. Blazing speed.

Same-Game Parlay Leg 3: Nichushkin O2.5 SOG

Sitting in the driver's seat Nichushkin is bouncing off a hat trick. Like Lehkonen, the 29-year-old has edged a goal in every game this series.

So, why am I not taking him as an anytime goalscorer? Though I don't have any proof, I feel like players coming off a high-scoring night just take their foot off the gas a bit. Plus, Winnipeg's defense will be gunning for him.

However, all this opportunity and getting time on the powerplay just opens up confidence in his shot props.
