Pierre-Luc Dubois trade: Who won the Kings and Jets deal?

Now this is quite the king’s ransom for Pierre-Luc Dubois.

It wasn’t that long ago that Pierre-Luc Dubois was being penciled into the Montreal Canadiens’ 2023-24 lineup for Game 1. Instead, the Dubois to Montreal dream is dead after the Los Angeles Kings swooped in with a big offseason splash.

On Tuesday, the Winnipeg Jets sent Dubois to the Kings in a massive sign-and-trade that comes with an eight-year, $68 million extension. The deal comes just over a day removed from the highly-anticipated 2023 NHL Draft, with some major moves already made in the lead up to the event.

It’s not often we get enormous sign-and-trades like this one in the NHL, especially with how stagnant the salary cap has been. The Kings really went for it by trading for Dubois and his gifted offensive talent, but did they pay too high a price?

With the draft only one day away, let’s take a look at how the Jets and the Kings grade out in this trade for Dubois.

Jets’ Morgan Barron returns to playoff game after 75 stitches to close up a horrifying facial cut

He returned to the bench after receiving 75 (!!) stitches.

Look, this is not a way of celebrating Winnipeg Jets forward Morgan Barron returning to the ice on Tuesday in their Game 1 playoff win over the Vegas Golden Knights.

I’m merely reporting what happened. Barron got cut by the sharp skate of Golden Knights netminder Laurent Brossoit above his eye, with blood pouring out everywhere, received 75 — yes, 75 — stitches … and returned to the game.

You can watch the video of what happened below and Barron talking about it, and I’ve tried really hard to avoid any video of the result of the cut. I’m glad he’s OK! He seemed in good spirits after the game:

 

Geez!

The Winnipeg Jets had the best joke tweet about Aaron Rodgers joining the New York Jets

These are not the Jets you’re looking for.

These are not the Jets you’re looking for.

Aaron Rodgers inches closer to becoming a member of the New York Jets after the news on Wednesday that he plans to move on from the Green Bay Packers to play in the AFC East next season. Rodgers leaving Green Bay behind for the even greener pastures of East Rutherford, New Jersey is the biggest story in the NFL by far this offseason, so it only makes sense the Winnipeg Jets would jump in on the fun.

While the rest of the NFL got its first look at Rodgers in a New York Jets jersey, the Winnipeg Jets gave us a hilarious sneak peak at what it’d be like if the quarterback suited up for the good old hockey game instead!

Not too bad!

The Rodgers news inspired many to fire off some good tweets after he announced his decision on the The Pat McAfee Show. That being said, if Rodgers is headed to the Winnipeg Jets after all, he better start driving now since the city — famously — does not have an airport.

Stars goalie Scott Wedgewood makes bizarre shoulder save to prevent Jets goal

Shoulder save!

Dallas Stars goalie Scott Wedgewood took his job to keep the puck out of the goal very seriously Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets.

The Stars and Jets entered Tuesday’s game toward the top of the Central Division, with both teams very eager to snag two points.

On a Blake Wheeler shot to the net for the Jets, the puck took a weird bounce off the stick and somehow landed on Wedgewood’s shoulder to prevent the goal.

It looked like a slick move on Wheeler’s behalf until gravity and physics sided with Wedgewood, who sported the puck on his shoulder like a chatty parrot flanking a friendly pirate.

They say that the puck doesn’t lie, and in this case, the puck does lie, just on Wedgewood’s shoulder.

After all, the goalie’s Twitter handle is “@wedgewall,” which was apt on this insane save.

If the Stars really want to make hay in the Western Conference, they should keep a chip on their shoulder for the rest of the year, or at the very least, a few more pucks on Wedgewood’s.

WATCH: MSU hockey alumnus Mason Appleton scores key playoff goal for Winnipeg Jets

Michigan State hockey alum Mason Appleton scored a big first-period goal in Winnipeg’s Monday night win over Edmonton.

[jwplayer oJWdEO9Y-PROpJzTY]

Michigan State hockey alumnus Mason Appleton is making his presence felt in this year’s NHL playoffs. The Winnipeg Jets finished a sweep of the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night, and Appleton played a key role in most of the series, averaging just over 19 minutes of ice time.

Late in the first period of Monday night’s game, Appleton made a great play with his stick, deflecting a shot from the point into the back of the net to restore the Winnipeg lead.

You can watch Appleton’s key goal here:

Appleton was a standout at MSU from 2015-2017 before being selected in the sixth round of the NHL draft by the Jets.

The Arizona Coyotes (33-28-8) travel to Manitoba to meet the Winnipeg Jets (35-28-6) at Bell MTS Place Monday at 8 p.m. ET. We analyze the Coyotes-Jets sports betting odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Coyotes at Jets: Projected starting goalies

Darcy Kuemper vs. Connor Hellebuyck

The Coyotes have eased Kuemper back after a lengthy absence due to a knee injury, but he’s likely to make his third start within a week. He is 10-3-1 with a 2.03 goals against average and .932 save percentage in 14 starts on the road. He allowed two goals on 40 shots in a 4-2 win in Winnipeg back on Oct. 15, too.

Hellebuyck is on fire, as he posted his league-leading sixth shutout with 29 saves in a 4-0 win over the Vegas Golden Knights Friday. He improved to 29-21-5 with a 2.59 GAA and .921 SV% through 54 starts and two relief appearances. He has four of those shutouts at home, and he is 17-11-3 with a 2.44 GAA And .924 SV%. He was on the losing side of the Oct. 15 game against the Coyotes, yielding four goals.

Coyotes at Jets: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Jets 4, Coyotes 1

Moneyline (ML)

The JETS (-125) are playing really good hockey lately, and they have wins over the Golden Knights and Washington Capitals to prove they could be quite a danger in the playoffs, as well. They’re a bit expensive on the moneyline, however, thanks mostly due to Hellebuyck’s hot streak. Look to the puck line for a better value.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Jets to grab the road win returns a profit of $8, while a $10 wager on the Coyotes (+105) nets a profit of $10.50.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The JETS (-1.5, +220) are a much better play on the puck line. In fact, in each of their past five victories, they have also covered the 1.5-goal spread. They’ve gone 10-1 on the puck line in their past 11 victories. The Coyotes (+1.5, -278) were a monster on the road earlier this season, but they’re just 2-11 across their past 13 games away from the desert.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 5.5 (-121) is worth a small-unit play. The Under has connected in four straight for the Jets, as Hellebuyck has been yielding next to nothing. The opposition has totaled just four goals across his past four outings, while the Jets have posted 3.0 goals per game during the span. Winnipeg’s goaltending situation is driving this bet, and the play is ‘Under’.

Vegas Golden Knights at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Friday’s Vegas Golden Knights sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Winnipeg Jets (34-28-6) host the Vegas Golden Knights (37-23-8) Friday at Bell MTS Place for an 8 p.m. ET puck drop. We analyze the Golden Knights-Jets sports betting odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Golden Knights at Jets: Projected starting goalies

Marc-Andre Fleury vs. Connor Hellebuyck

Fleury draws back in for Vegas after giving up four goals on just 17 shots in a loss to the Los Angeles Kings Sunday. The accomplished veteran is 26-15-5 with a .906 save percentage and 2.76 goals against average through 46 starts and a relief appearance.

Hellebuyck stopped 25 of 26 shots in a win over the Buffalo Sabres Tuesday to improve to 28-21-5 on the season with a .920 SV% and 2.64 GAA through 53 starts and two relief appearances.

Odds last updated at 9:20 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Jets 2, Golden Knights 1

Moneyline (ML)

Take the value with the JETS (+120) on home ice. Both teams are coming off victories, with the Jets topping the Buffalo Sabres 3-1 Tuesday and the Golden Knights (-143) blanking the New Jersey Devils 3-0 Tuesday. Winnipeg is 18-14-3 at home for the season, while Vegas is 15-12-4 on the road.

The Jets earned a 4-3 overtime victory Nov. 2 in Vegas in the season’s first head-to-head meeting.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Jets to win in regulation, overtime or a shootout returns a profit of $12.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

PASS on the spread for the underdog Jets (+1.5, -228) in favor of the more profitable moneyline play. Vegas is 14-17 ATS on the road this season, while Winnipeg is 17-18 ATS at home, but the hosts are a more rewarding bet while backing them to win outright. Each of the Jets’ last three losses came by just single goals.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the UNDER 5.5 (+115) with both teams starting their No. 1 goaltender. Vegas is clinging to top spot in the Pacific Division, while Winnipeg is fighting for a Western Conference wild-card berth. Expect a playoff atmosphere. Both teams have been favoring the Under of late, as well. The Jets went 2-7-1 against the O/U across their last 10 games. The Knights went 4-5-1.

Buffalo Sabres at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Tuesday’s Buffalo Sabres at Winnipeg Jets sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Buffalo Sabres (29-28-8) invade Bell MTS Place Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET to battle the Winnipeg Jets (33-28-6). We analyze the Sabres-Jets sports betting odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Sabres at Jets: Projected starting goalies

Carter Hutton vs. Connor Hellebuyck

Hutton has been rather erratic this season, although he is 12-12-4 overall with a 3.18 goals against average and .898 save percentage. He started the season on a winning streak, he endured an ugly slide from late October through January, and picked up the pace in February in place of the injured Linus Ullmark. The 34-year-old is 6-5-0 with a 2.93 GAA and .907 SV% in 11 starts and 12 appearances since the All-Star break.

Hellebuyck has rolled up a 27-21-5 record, 2.67 GAA and .919 SV% through his 52 starts and two relief appearances with five shutouts. He has been slightly better on home ice at 15-11-3 with a 2.58 GAA and .920 SV% with three shutouts. Hellebuyck and the Jets just tackled the Sabres in Buffalo Feb. 23, and they were on the short end of a 2-1 decision.

Sabres at Jets: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 11:20 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Jets 4, Sabres 2

Moneyline (ML)

The JETS (-175) are moderate favorites on home ice against the Sabres (+145), as they look to avenge the 2-1 setback in Buffalo. The Sabres have managed just the one win in seven previous Western Conference battles, and they’re a dismal 14-46 in their past 60 games on the road. Winnipeg has won five of their past seven on home ice, and they’re 10-3 in the past 13 as a home favorite.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Jets to grab the road win returns a profit of $5.70, while a $10 wager on the Sabres results in a profit of $14.50.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The JETS (-1.5, +150) are a good value on the puck line, as I expect them to play much better in this one than they did in Buffalo. Plus, the Sabres are a dismal 5-13 in their past 18 trips to Winnipeg, as MTS Place has been a house of horrors. A small-unit play is more than warranted.

Over/Under (O/U)

The trends are all over the board. The Under dominates for the Jets, while the Over has been the rule for the Sabres lately. The Under hit in the first meeting, but if I had any lean it would be to the Over. Still, the best move is not to play. AVOID.
