Today's NHL Picks
The Avalanche have scored five or more goals in each of the first three games, and netminder Connor Hellebuyck now possesses a fade-worthy .871 SV% and 5.05 GAA in the series. The Jets defense isn't doing him any favors, considering that the Jets rank 14th among the 16 playoff teams this postseason in expected goals against per 60 minutes (xGA/60). The Avs also boast a notable home ice advantage, having gone 31-9-1 at Ball Arena in the regular season.

The Swedish centre has recorded an assist in every game thus far, including two key apples in New York’s Game 3 win. Zibanejad finished the regular season on a six-game point streak with at least one assist in 10 of his final 13 games. The Rangers star continued that into the postseason and there’s no reason to expect that to stop on Sunday night in D.C.
