They suffered losses against the Calgary Flames (5-3), the Winnipeg Jets (4-3), the Seattle Kraken (3-2), the New Jersey Devils (1-0), and the New York Islanders (5-4).

They registered their first win against the Vancouver Canucks (4-3), and followed it up with another win against the Nashville Predators (5-3). Their most impressive win has to be against the New York Rangers (5-1). They will now look to beat the reigning champions and tie the doubleheader.

Colorado Avalanche vs. Columbus Blue Jackets: Pick
Jakub Varocek has had a decent season so far for the struggling Columbus Blue Jackets. In 11 games, the right wing has a goal, 5 assists, and 6 points for his team.
He has 7 goals and 17 assists in 30 games against the Colroado Avalanche. He will be a tough task for the Avalanche team. However, the Blue Jackets need him to come out good tonight.

Avalanche vs. Jackets: Prediction
The Colorado Avalanche have managed to win only four of their last ten games against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The reigning champions will have to do better than that in order to keep up with other teams in the division.
They won their last encounter against the Blue Jackets back in April, where the total score crossed the 7-goal mark.
Prediction: Total Goals Under 6.5 (105)
