The Winnipeg Jets are in the unenviable position of traveling to face the Colorado Avalanche after playing yesterday. Colorado is 8-2SU in its last 10 home games when its opponent is unrested, so I'm riding the Avs on the moneyline at -190 from BET99.
Check out Odds Shark's BET99 same-game parlay that fades me by taking the Jets moneyline, then combining two player props in Sheifele hitting his points prop and MacKinnon hitting his shot prop for +475 odds.

Jets vs Avalanche Picks
Avalanche ML (-190) at BET99
After playing the Predators with Connor Hellebuyck in the net last night, the Jets are most certainly turning to backup Eric Comrie for tonight's game in Colorado. Comrie has lost each of his last five starts averaging a 0.894 save percentage and 3.20 goals against average so don't expect him to stop a Colorado side averaging 3.8 goals per game in its last nine games. Oh, and I don't expect his teammates to help out much, the Jets are 0-3SU on the second leg of a back-to-back this year.
Colorado has turned the page on its season, winning eight of its last 10 games. GM Joe Sakic orchestrated this turnaround by trading goalies Justus Annunen and Alexandar Georgiev for MacKenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood, and the new goalie duo has been outstanding averaging a 0.932 save percentage and 2.23 goals against average. Blackwood, who should get the start tonight, has been particularly good with a 0.940SV% and 1.82GAA.
The Avalanche have all the advantages of playing at home to an unrested opponent, they fixed their one glaring issue (goaltending), and have players like Mikko Rantanen who's on a 10-game point streak. OVER 0.5 points for the Finn is -245 at BET99, so Colorado wins tonight.
Jets vs Avalanche Same Game Parlay
- Jets ML
- Scheifele OVER 0.5 Points
- MacKinnon OVER 3.5 SOG
- Odds: +475
Jets ML: The Odds Sharks staff outvoted me on the outcome of this game instead of siding with the Avs on the moneyline. To be fair to them, the Jets are 3-1SU in their last four games in Colorado so maybe Eric Comrie pulls out some magic and steals a game tonight.
Sheifele O0.5 Points: He might not have picked a point last night, but Sheifele has been red-hot lately with 14 points in his last 10 games and has been good against the Avs with 39 points in 36 career games.
MacKinnon O3.5 SOG: Mack is a shooting machine averaging 4.5 shots per game in his last 15 outings, he has a similar average when playing on home ice with an average of 4.2 shots in 407 career games in Denver.
Jets vs Avalanche Player Prop
Nino Niederreitter O1.5 SOG (-140) at BET99
Nino has been something of a road warrior for the Jets lately, per Outlier the former fifth-overall pick has gone OVER 1.5 shots on goal in five of his last six road games.
Looking at his splits for the season, Nino is averaging 2.0 shots on net when playing on the road with 40 shots in 20 road games, so he's already an attractive candidate to hit his shot prop. Then you consider that the Avs have been allowing a lot of shots with the sixth-most shots against at 5on5 at 28.89 per game. Pairing the two together makes this a sure-fire win.
