Jets at Red Wings projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (6-1-0, 2.14 GAA, .925 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Alex Lyon (2-2-0, 2.05 GAA, .940 SV%, 1 SO)

Hellebuyck has been a large part of the reason the Jets have had so much success to start the season. He has the best record in the NHL while his GAA and SV% both rank in the top 10. He has allowed just 15 goals total this season.

Despite Lyon’s 2-2 record, his GAA ranks 6th in the NHL while his SV% puts him at 3rd-best in the league. He has allowed just 9 goals this season while saving 140 of 149 total shots.

Jets at Red Wings picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 4, Red Wings 3

Moneyline

BET JETS (-150).

Winnipeg has won 8 of its 9 games this season while allowing 3 or fewer goals. It has scored 4 or more goals in 5 of its last 6 games and faces a Detroit team that has scored 3 or fewer goals in 3 of its last 4 games.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

There is better value on the Jets moneyline, however, due to their high-powered offense a sprinkle on Jets -1.5 (+165) could be worth a second look.

Over/Under

BET OVER 6 (-110).

The Jets have a 5-3-1 Over record this season while the Red Wings have a 5-4 Over record. Winnipeg has scored 4 or more goals in each of its last 3 games and 5 of its 6 overall. It has allowed 3 or more goals in each of its last 3 games and in 5 of its last 6 games as well. Detroit has scored 3 or more goals in 2 of its last 3 while allowing 3 or more goals in each of its last 3.

Winnipeg Jets at Detroit Red Wings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Winnipeg Jets at Detroit Red Wings odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Winnipeg Jets (3-3-0) take on the Detroit Red Wings (5-1-1) Thursday at Little Caesars Arena. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+/Hulu). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Jets vs. Red Wings odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Jets are coming off a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues Tuesday night. LW Kyle Connor scored his 4th goal of the season, and the Jets held St. Louis to just 20 shots on goal. Before that, they took down the Edmonton Oilers, 3-2, in overtime.

The Red Wings snapped a 5-game winning streak with a 5-4 loss in overtime to the Seattle Kraken Tuesday. They have points in 6 straight. RW Alex DeBrincat leads the NHL with 9 goals, and C Dylan Larkin is 2nd in the NHL with 14 points.

Jets at Red Wings projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (3-2-0, 3.39 GAA, .881 SV%) vs. Ville Husso (3-1-1, 3.38 GAA, .893 SV%)

Hellebuyck has gotten off to a rough start, but he has only allowed 2 goals in each of his last 2 starts. He only stopped 18 of 20 shots against St. Louis, but he stopped RW Jordan Kyrou on a breakaway twice in the game. Hellebuyck faced Detroit twice last season, and one of them was an ugly 6-goal performance where he stopped just 16 of 22. He won the other game after stopping 23 of 25.

Husso has been a little erratic to open the season as well. He has allowed at least 2 goals in each of his 5 starts. He was touched up for 5 goals on 38 shots in the 5-4 overtime loss to the Kraken Tuesday night. Husso faced Winnipeg once last season, winning 7-5, and stopping 32 of 37 shots he faced.

Jets at Red Wings picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Wings 4, Jets 3

Moneyline

This should be a fast-paced one with both goalies having some issues thus far. Detroit is really rolling, and unless Husso just can’t hang, they should have enough firepower to get it done. The Wings have won 3 of the last 5 meetings, they’re at home and on a heater offensively. There’s a chance the Wings go with backup James Reimer, who has a 1.00 GAA through 2 starts. Detroit has gone from -105 to +105 Thursday morning. DeBrincat has become questionable due to an illness, which is likely the reason, but I still like the Wings.

Take the RED WINGS +105.

Puck line/Against the spread

I don’t like either side of the PL here.

One prop bet stands out, though. Larkin has goals in 3 straight games. If DeBrincat is out or limited, he’ll have to continue the offensive pressure.

Take DYLAN LARKIN ANYTIME GOAL +165.

Over/Under

Detroit has scored at least 4 goals in 6 straight games and at least 3 in all 7. The last 2 meetings between the teams have gone Over. Both goalies have been leaky.

I LEAN OVER 6.5 (-105).
