Vegas has won 3 of its last 4 games, all on the road, while scoring 5 or more goals in 2 of its last 3. It plays at home for just the 3rd time in its last 10 games, facing a Winnipeg team that has recently struggled after a fiery start to the season.

PASS.

The moneyline has better value on Vegas.

This game features 2 of the better goalies in the NHL. The Jets have hit the Under in 8 of their last 10 games, while scoring 1 goal or fewer in 4 of their last 7 and allowing 1 goal or fewer in 2 of their last 4.

Jets at Golden Knights projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (37-25-2, 2.49 GAA, .920 SV%, 4 SO – regular season) vs. Laurent Brossoit (7-0-3, 2.17 GAA, .927 SV% – regular season)

Hellebuyck started this series on a positive note, allowing just a single goal on 17 shots. The offensive pressure by the Golden Knights has picked up in the last 3 games though and he’s allowed 13 goals on the past 116 shots. He is 1-3-0 with a 3.21 GAA and .895 SV% in 4 games in this series.

Brossoit coughed up 4 goals on 30 shots in Game 1, but he has bounced back with 3 consecutive wins — the first 3 postseason wins of his NHL career. He is 3-1-0 with a 2.75 GAA and .902 SV% in 4 games in the series.

Jets at Golden Knights picks and predictions

Prediction

Golden Knights 4, Jets 1

Moneyline

The Golden Knights (-190) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s too rich for my blood. My personal moneyline limit for a standalone bet is -180.

PASS, and look to the puck line instead.

Puck line/Against the spread

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS -1.5 (+150) are a much better value at plus money.

Vegas has covered the puck line in each of the past 2 games as a favorite.

The Golden Knights have won 4 of the past 5 on home ice, with the lone loss coming in Game 1. Vegas is 4-1 in its last 5 in the Conference Quarterfinals round, too.

Over/Under

The UNDER 5.5 (+105) is worth a look at plus money, but go lightly.

The Over has cashed in each of the first 4 games in this series, so this requires a leap of faith. However, the Under is 23-7-1 in the past 31 games on the road for the Jets, while going 12-4-3 in the past 19 when working on 2 days of rest.

Vegas should see a decent amount of goals, but I expect Winnipeg to struggle in this elimination game.
