The Jets continue to struggle on the road and their playoff hopes are fading by the day. The Avalanche have been a buzzsaw on their home ice lately and they’ve found their footing overall this week. When the Avs have it going on, there’s no stepping in front of them. It’s that simple. There’s a gap between these teams. Give me the Avalanche and the PL for max betting value.
