Blues at Jets picks and predictions
Prediction
Jets 4, Blues 1
Moneyline
PASS.
The Jets (-220) should win, but there is no need to risk more than 2 times your potential profit on the moneyline when Winnipeg should win by multiple goals. Bet the puck line or total instead.
Puck line/Against the spread
BET JETS -1.5 (-115).
Winnipeg is 7-0-1 vs. St. Louis in the last 8 meetings and is in a good spot to bounce back at home after an embarrassing loss vs. Philadelphia. The Jets have covered the puck line in 6 of their last 7 wins and should be able to take advantage of a Blues team on a 4-game skid. St. Louis has scored just 2 goals vs. Hellebuyck in 2 meetings this season and should struggle to score once again Monday.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 6.5 (-135).
The Under is 4-0 in Winnipeg’s last 4 games after losing by 3 or more goals in its previous contest and 5-0 in the Jets’ last 5 vs. Central Division teams. The Jets have played low-scoring games vs. the Western Conference recently as the Under has hit in 9 of their last 10. Look for the Under to hit Monday as Hellebuyck dominates vs. St. Louis for the 3rd time this season.
