The Colorado Avalanche will look to bounce back from Monday's 1-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild as they collide with the Winnipeg Jets in a highly anticipated divisional showdown on Wednesday. While Colorado is heading into tonight's game after a loss, the Jets will be looking to snap a two-game skid that most recently saw them drop a 2-5 loss to the Utah Hockey Club Monday.

Heading into the game, the Avalanche are in fourth place in the Central Division with a record of 28-19-1. This puts them comfortably ahead of the fifth-place Blues and just behind the third-placed Dallas Stars.

Meanwhile, Winnipeg remains atop the division despite a 4-4-2 record in their last ten, sitting five points ahead of the Wild.
