Momentum is a powerful thing in the NFL, and right now it belongs to Indianapolis. While the Steelers are still searching for consistency, the Colts appear to be finding it at exactly the right time. I see the Colts coming back stateside and leaving the Steelers in a state of confusion.

The Blues are coming off back-to-back losses but get to finally enjoy their first game on home ice here. The Sharks were also just without Macklin Celebrini in their recent 5-0 loss with a lower body injury, so that’s a key factor here as well.

Early on, the Blackhawks are both one of the worst offensive and defensive teams in the league. Ilya Sorokin has a 1.03 GAA and .98 SVP with one shutout thus far this season.

The Avalanche are off and running with 14 total goals through two games so far this season, while the Jets have scored exactly three goals in their three games. Looking at the offensive talent across the board in this matchup, we could have a high-scoring affair on our hands.
