I'm going to buck the trend on this one, as I believe the Avs will bounce back in Game 2. This Colorado team is far too talented to make another Round 1 exit this year, but if they fall behind 0-2, it likely will happen. Looks for the trio of Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Cale Makar to come out strong.

Colorado head coach Jared Bender is proving to be loyal to a fault with Alexandar Georgiev set to start again in net for the Avs after surrendering 7 goals in Game 1. The Avs have proven that they can score against the Jets, and Georgiev has proven he can't be trusted. The over looks safe here.

We're not asking anything new of Nurkic. He finds tremendous success against Minnesota, averaging 3 blocks + steals against them this season and combing for 11 in his two most recent games against them. While Rudy Gobert seems to have him locked down in just about every other category, this seems like a good spot Nurkic can continue to contribute in this series.
