- Makar is the highest-scoring defenceman in the playoffs to date with six points scored in three games.
Play-Makar
Cale Makar is one of the best playmakers in the league, and certainly one of the top assisters of all the defencemen in recent times. Makar comes into this game on a massive points streak having scored 10 in his last 12. He has also scored 2+ points in a further 5 of those 12.
We are prepared to lay the juice on Makar contributing to over 1.5 points tonight on home ice. The Jets goaltender doesn’t look like he will be up to the task of reviving this series having been dominated the way he has in the first three games.
As of right now, we don’t know if the Jets will start Hellebuyck. Even if they do start him, his recent form hasn’t been strong. We expect the Avalanche will score four of five goals tonight at least.
The Pick
Take the Avalanche’s main playmaker this post-season to see 2+ points in this game. We do like the current NHL odds of -110 but wouldn’t advise laying much more than that on this NHL player prop pick.
Our OddsTrader computer is predicting a 4-3 win for Colorado.
