Jets Preview

The Winnipeg Jets are 32-14-5 this season after they defeated the Sharks by a score of 1-0 in their last game. Winnipeg scored the only goal in the game in the first period and they were able to hang on for the shutout win. The Jets out shot San Jose by a total of 39-17 and went 0-2 on the power play in the game. Winnipeg defeated Pittsburgh by a score of 2-1 in the game prior to San Jose, but they lost the previous five games. The Jets are scoring 2.98 goals per game and they are allowing 2.28 goals against per game, while going 14.8% on the power play and 77.7% on the penalty kill. Mark Scheifele has led Winnipeg with 15 goals, 28 assists, and 105 shots on goal. The projected starting goalie for Winnipeg is Connor Hellebuyck, who is 25-10-3 this season with a 2.13 goals against average and a .926 save percentage.

Jets vs Canucks Betting Prediction

Vancouver continues to be one of the best teams in the NHL and they come into this game looking for their fourth straight win. The Canucks are 19-4-2 at home, while Winnipeg is 14-7-3 on the road. The Jets were playing like the best team in the NHL, but they have really lost the ability to score consistently over the last couple of weeks. Winnipeg has scored two goals or fewer in eight straight games and 10 of their last 11. The Jets are one of the best defensive teams in the NHL, but they are wasting that by not scoring goals. The Jets are better than they have played, but I can’t take them against one of the best teams in the NHL until they improve their scoring. Take the Canucks at home.
