After an unforgettable 13-goal Game 1 thriller, the Winnipeg Jets and Colorado Avalanche square off in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series on Tuesday as we offer our expert Avalanche vs. Jets player props based on the best NHL odds.
While neutral observers and those who bet the Over would have loved every second of Game 1, Jared Bednar and Rick Bowness probably found it cringe-worthy. The Colorado Avalanche and Winnipeg Jets put on a display the Harlem Globetrotters would have been proud of, consisting of no defense and more errors than an untrained computer programmer commits.
The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. ET from Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Man., on Tuesday. Both teams will be steadfast on playing a more responsible game, with the Jets keen on proving why they were the NHL's best defensive team on home ice during the regular season.
Accomp anying our Capitals vs. Rangers player props, here are our best Avalanche vs. Jets player props and NHL picks for Tuesday (odds via our best NHL betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Avalanche vs. Jets prop bet predictions for Tuesday
An avalanche of goals can't possibly strike twice in the same place in two days, can it? Playoff hockey is all about making adjustments, so Bednar and Bowness should have their plates more full than an all-you-can-eat buffet in the lead-up to Game 2. The Jets had the NHL's second-best defense overall and best on home ice during the regular season, which, based on how Game 1 transpired, might come as a shock.
More rookie and needless mistakes occurred in Game 1 than a baby attempting to eat solids for the first time. That propensity for a gaff was compounded by Alexandar Georgiev's woeful play in the Colorado net. The embattled Avs' goaltender probably would have struggled to save a fully inflated exercise ball. That said, the Jets will be much better defensively in Game 2, while the Avs will either change their starting netminder or ensure they protect Georgiev.
Best odds: -125 via Betway

While our Western Conference matchups and predictions have the Jets advancing to the second round, it's hard to conceive of this Avalanche team capitulating. Expect a warrior-like performance from the Avs in Game 2, who will feel hard done by after a few uncharacteristic mistakes and forlorn goaltending cost them a chance to take Game 1.
There were signs of an Avs' pushback, cutting the three-goal deficit to one late in the third period. Colorado also started the game well and would have been up by a couple had it not been for Connor Hellebuyck's early heroics. Look for the Avalanche to even the series in a much tighter-checking Game 2. Betway offers -110 odds for an Avalanche victory, implying a 52.38% probability. A winning $10 wager will yield a $9.09 profit.
Best odds: -110 via Betway
This mini-parlay, offered by Betway at +137, provides an ideal opportunity to double down on the previous wagers with an added buffer. The Over is set at 7.5 goals, which might be required if Georgiev starts and has again inserted the wrong contact lenses. Otherwise, it's a solid bet that will pay a $13.70 profit on a winning $10 bet. The wager comes with an implied probability of 42.19%.
Best odds: +137 via Betway
