    The Winnipeg Jets will look to take down the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday afternoon.

    Two teams owning 49-24-6 records will face off in a critical showdown on Saturday afternoon at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.

    The visiting Winnipeg Jets will take on the host Colorado Avalanche in Winnipeg's final road test of the season.

    The 3:00 PM central start time will be a battle for second-place and home-ice advantage in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

    Currently tied with 104 standings points each, the Jets do own the tiebreak with Colorado, so they can still finish the season tied in points with the Avalanche but take home-ice advantage for that reason.

    The Jets are riding a five-game winning streak and will hope to keep the good times rolling against Nathan McKinnon and the Avs.

    Following Laurent Brossoit's third shutout of the season in Dallas on Thursday, Connor Hellebuyck will return to the net on Saturday, while the rest of the lineup is expected to be unchanged.

    Winnipeg Jets expected line combinations for Saturday, April 13 vs. Colorado:

    Connor - Scheifele - Vilardi

    Ehlers - Monahan - Toffoli

    Gustafsson - Lowry - Appleton

    Barron - Namestnikov - Iafallo

    Morrissey - DeMelo

    Dillon - Pionk

    Stanley - Samberg

    Hellebuyck

    Injured: Niederreiter

    Healthy scratches: Perfetti, Kupari, Schmidt, Miller

    The game can be viewed live on TSN at 3:00 PM central time.
