Wild at Jets projected goalies

Jesper Wallstedt (0-1-0, 3.12 GAA, .889% SV) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (20-5-1, 2.15 GAA, .926 SV%, 3 SO)

After Fleury started Friday’s game, the current backup Wallstedt is expected to get the starting nod Saturday, as Filip Gustavsson is nursing a lower-body injury and he is expected to be sidelined. He stopped 24 of 27 shots Sunday against the Vegas Golden Knights in his season debut.

Hellebuyck is 10-2-1 with a 2.07 GAA and .927 SV% with 2 SO in 13 home starts. He will be making his third start of the season against the Wild. He is 2-0-0 with a 0.99 GAA and .972 SV%, allowing just 2 goals on 71 shots.

Wild at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 3, Wild 2

Moneyline

The JETS (-175) are a little on the pricey side, but they’re worth playing with the Wild (+145) back on no rest after a tough loss Saturday.

Minnesota cannot be trusted, going 0-3-0 in the past 3 games, while managing a total of 4 goals of offensive support for its goaltenders.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Wild +1.5 (-185) are just a little too expensive if you require insurance and you can’t trust Minnesota straight up.

Minnesota is 2-4 in the past 6 games as an underdog on the puck line dating back to Nov. 25.

On the flip side, the Jets -1.5 (+150) can’t be trusted to cover, either, as Winnipeg is 3-8 in the past 11 games on the puck line as a favorite.

AVOID.

Over/Under

UNDER 5.5 (+100) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at best.

The Under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games for the Jets, while going 11-4 across the past 15 games since Nov. 22, including the most recent meeting with the Wild Nov. 25.

The Under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games for the Wild, too, while going 9-4 across the previous 13 outings.

Vegas Golden Knights at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Vegas Golden Knights at Winnipeg Jets odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Winnipeg Jets (21-9-0) host the Vegas Golden Knights (18-7-3) in Thursday NHL action. Puck drop from the Canada Life Centre is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Golden Knights vs. Jets odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: Vegas leads 1-0

The Golden Knights toppled the Jets 4-3 Nov. 29 in a battle of these Western Conference powerhouses in Las Vegas. C Ivan Barbashev and C Brett Howden, who scored the game-winner with 4:05 to go, each scored twice. Vegas covered as the slightest home underdog (-108) and Over (6.5) hit.

The Golden Knights start this 3-game trip with a 3-game win streak and have triumphed in 4 of their past 5 games and 7 of their last 9. The most recent victory came during a 3-2 home win in a heavyweight fight with the Dallas Stars Friday. The Golden Knights cashed as +125 underdogs and the Under (6) hit.

Winnipeg, meanwhile, has won 3 of its past 4 games. The latest victory was an 8-1 thrashing of the visiting Boston Bruins Tuesday. The Jets covered as -135 favorites and the Over (5.5) hit thanks to 5 third-period tallies from Winnipeg. C Mark Scheifele finished with 2 goals and an assist in the win.

Golden Knights at Jets projected goalies

Adin Hill (12-4-2, 2.63 GAA, .905 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (18-5-0, 2.09 GAA, .927 SV%, 3 SO)

Both netminders are unconfirmed as of this publishing, but Hill is more certain because of the 5-day breather the Golden Knights have enjoyed.

Vegas’ stopper is on fire with a 1.73 GAA across his past 8 games (6-1-1), having not allowed more than 3 goals in any of those outings, which happened just once in the stretch. The other 7 games were just 2 goals or less, including a 1-0 home shutout of Edmonton Dec. 3.

Hellebuyck has jump-started a possible Vezina Trophy repeat with his early domination. The Jets ‘tender leads the NHL with 18 wins, is tied for first in shutouts (3), is second in GAA and tied for second in SV% (Montreal’s Sam Montembeault also has 3 shutouts, Minnesota’s Filip Gustavsson has the top GAA at 2.08 with a .927 SV%, while Toronto’s Anthony Stolarz owns the best SV% at .928).

The Michigan native has not allowed more than 3 goals in any of his past 9 games.

Golden Knights at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 3, Golden Knights 2

Moneyline

Vegas (+115) has been given enough clout in this market to present Winnipeg (-135) as a slight bargain along the ML. Betting this up to -175 would be justified.

FanDuel Sportsbook lists it as a slightly better value at -134.

BET JETS (-134).

Puck line/Against the spread

Picking between Hellebuyck and Hill proves tough, and this one should wind up as a down-to-the-wire battle.

Given these two teams’ ability to turn up ice rapidly, maybe the home team will sneak an empty-netter past the visitors in the waning minutes. The thin margin likely to decide this game puts the Knights’ spread on the table.

However, that -225 juice should hardly interest bettors. It doesn’t properly reflect the volatility of this game’s result.

PASS.

Over/Under

Scheifele and LW Kyle Connor are tied for 8th with 16 goals apiece, giving the Jets a potent 1-2 combo of scoring. Barbashev and C Jack Eichel have done plenty to lead the VGK attack as well.

However, this bet runs with the hot goaltending winning out along the total. Hellebuyck has helped Winnipeg go 13-16-1 on the Over/Under, which warrants stronger consideration than Vegas’ 16-11-1 O/U record.

Bettors should consider hopping over to FanDuel Sportsbook where they’ll find a favorable hook and an immensely better vig tailored to potentially cash in more strongly on this score prediction.

BET UNDER 6 (-110) at BetMGM or UNDER 5.5 (+110) at FanDuel.

Boston Bruins at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Boston Bruins at Winnipeg Jets odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Boston Bruins (15-11-3) take on the Winnipeg Jets (20-9-0) Tuesday. Puck drop from Canada Life Centre is set for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Bruins vs. Jets odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Tied 1-1 last season

The Bruins outlasted the Philadelphia Flyers in a 4-3 overtime victory Saturday, cashing as -150 home favorites with the Over (5.5) hitting. It was their fourth straight victory. C Trent Frederic had 2 goals to give him 5 on the season. LW Brad Marchand added his 11th goal of the season and his third in the last 2 games. The Bruins are 7-2-0 under interim coach Joe Sacco.

The Jets ran out of fuel against the Columbus Blue Jackets Sunday in a 4-1 defeat, losing as -147 home favorites with the Under (6.5) coming in. It was on the back end of a back-to-back with their backup G Eric Comrie between the pipes. LW Kyle Connor had the lone tally, which was his 15th of the season. They had won 2 straight before that setback.

Bruins at Jets projected goalies

Jeremy Swayman (9-9-2, 3.02 GAA, .893 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (17-5-0, 2.14 GAA, .925 SV%, 3 SO)

Sway won his third start in a row Saturday, stopping 23 of 26 shots the Flyers airmailed at him. He hasn’t had the best season, but he seems to be evening things out with 12 goals allowed in his last 6 starts. He was great in one game against Winnipeg last season and not so good in another, stopping 20 of 21 in a 4-1 win and allowing 5 goals on 33 shots in a 5-1 loss.

Hellebuyck has shaken off his season-long losing streak of 3 games by allowing 4 goals on 44 shots in his last 2 outings, which were both wins. His last outing was a weird one, which he saw 2 go past on just 14 shots against the Chicago Blackhawks Saturday. If the season ended today, the Vezina Trophy is his. He went 1-1-0 with a 2.02 GAA and .911 SV% in 2 games against Boston last season.

Bruins at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 4, Bruins 2

Moneyline

These teams split their 2 games last season, each winning their respective home game. The Bruins have won 7 of the last 8 meetings.

However, this isn’t the same Bruins team — especially without D Hampus Lindholm (lower body injury). This Bruins team is 30th in the league with 10.7 penalty minutes per game. Well, Winnipeg has the third-best power play at 29.1%. That’s the difference in this one.

TAKE JETS (-135).

Puck line/Against the spread

I’m not messing with the PL here, and I don’t like any of the SOG props. I am going with CONNOR HELLEBUYCK UNDER 2.5 GOALS ALLOWED (-140). He has allowed 2 goals or fewer in 13 of 22 starts this season, and he has done so in 5 of the last 7.

Over/Under

I’m a little surprised this isn’t at a flat 6 goals. These teams play each other tightly with just 6 total goals scored in 2 of the last 7 meetings. Winnipeg is 2-8 O/U in its last 10 but has scored a single goal in half of those. That’s not happening against one of the most penalized teams in the league. Boston has cashed an Over in 3 of 4.

TAKE OVER 5.5 (+100).

Winnipeg Jets at Buffalo Sabres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Winnipeg Jets at Buffalo Sabres odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Winnipeg Jets (18-8-0) take on the Buffalo Sabres (11-12-2) Thursday evening. Puck drop from KeyBank Center is set for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Jets vs. Sabres odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Jets won 2-0 last season

The Jets have lost 4 straight games and 5 of 6 after falling 4-1 to the St. Louis Blues Tuesday as -211 home favorites. C Mark Scheifele scored the only goal, which was his 13th of the season. He’s going through some sort of injury, though, because he’s playing the wing instead of center to take stress off his upper body. LW Kyle Connor, who had scored in 4 straight against St. Louis, has been held scoreless in 6 straight games.

The Sabres took it to the Colorado Avalanche Tuesday, but someone must’ve forgot to tell them the game is 3 periods long. They got up 4-0 in the first and wound up losing 5-4. It was their fourth straight loss. RW Tage Thompson scored his 12th and 13th goals in the game, and G Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was great, stopping 36 of 41.

Puck line (PL)/Against the spread (ATS): Jets -1.5 (+180) | Sabres +1.5 (-225)
Over/Under (O/U): 5.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Jets at Sabres projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (15-5-0, 2.16 GAA, .927 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Ukko-Pekka Luukonen (8-6-2, 2.69 GAA, .906 SV%, 1 SO)

The Jets could go with backup Eric Comrie here. They have a back-to-back Saturday and Sunday, and it makes sense to stick with their horse here and rest him either Saturday or Sunday. Hellebuyck has been good, but beatable at times. He has allowed 3+ goals in 5 of 8 starts, allowing 3 on 21 shots against St. Louis last time out. He stopped 26 of the 28 he saw against Buffalo in a win last year.

The numbers don’t look great, giving up 9 goals in his last 2 starts, but Luukkonen did all he could trying to withstand the Avalanche Tuesday night. He stopped 36 of 41, and the team seemed to relax in front of him after going up 4-0. He hasn’t faced the Jets the last couple of years.

Jets at Sabres picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 3, Sabres 2

Moneyline

This Winnipeg team started out 15-1. Now, they’re not that good, but they certainly aren’t this bad. They get back into the win column despite what they do in goal here. I’m frankly surprised Buffalo’s coach still has a job after getting a 4-0 lead, which caused the other team to change goalies, and losing 5-4.

Take the JETS -135.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Sabres are 27th in the league with 9.8 penalty minutes per game, and they’re 15th with an 80.2% kill. So they take a lot of penalties and are so-so at killing them.

That’s where Connor comes in. He had a sure-thing goal against St. Louis, and G Joel Hofer made a highlight-reel blocker save. He pushed off the right post and slid to his left to stone Connor. His goal drought ends Thursday night.

Take KYLE CONNOR ANYTIME GOAL +135.

Over/Under

Buffalo is 5-4-1 O/U in its last 10, and Winnipeg is 2-8. The Over is just 1-8-1 in the last 10 meetings. Now, that’s deceptive because we have only had one 5.5 total. So there is risk involved here, but I like the UNDER 5.5 (+100) unless Comrie gets the start. If that happens, the line will jump to 6 – so be patient here.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Winnipeg Jets (18-6-0) meet the Dallas Stars (14-8-0) Sunday at American Airlines Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Jets vs. Stars odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: Jets lead 1-0 after 4-1 win in Winnipeg on Nov. 9, as the Under cashed for the fifth consecutive time in this series

The Jets are skidding after a 15-1-0 start. Since Nov. 14, Winnipeg is just 3-5-0 in the past 8 outings, while the Under is 6-2 in the span. The Jets have allowed 3 or more goals in 7 of the past 9 outings since Nov. 12, too.

The Stars roughed up the Colorado Avalanche 5-3 on Friday as the Over (6.5) cashed. The total has ended up going high in 3 in a row, while going 4-0-1 across the past 5 outings.

Jets at Stars projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (15-3-0, 2.11 GAA, .928 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Jake Oettinger (12-4-0, 2.46 GAA, .912 SV, 1 SO)

Hellebuyck allowed 3 goals on 32 shots in a 4-1 road setback in Los Angeles against the Kings. He has allowed 3 or fewer goals in each of the past 4 starts, winning 3 of those outings. He is 8-2-0 with a 2.10 GAA and .931 SV% with 2 SO, which is right in line with his season numbers.

Oettinger conceded just 3 goals on 32 shots last time out in a 5-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday. He wrapped up November with an impressive 7-3-0 with a 2.86 GAA and .894 SV% in 10 starts.

Jets at Stars picks and predictions

Prediction

Winnipeg 3, Dallas 2

Moneyline

The JETS (+120) are worth a look at plus-money on the road against the Stars (-140) in this key Western Conference game.

The Stars hold a 6-4 edge in the past 10 meetings, but Dallas lost its most recent game at home on April 11 in the final battle last season. Winnipeg has won 2 of the past 3 trips to the Metroplex, too.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Jets +1.5 (-210) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

If you like Winnipeg, just play it straight up on the moneyline.

AVOID.

Over/Under

The UNDER 6 (-110) is worth playing lightly, as we have 2 strong goaltenders going up against each other.

The Under has cashed in 5 straight meetings in this series, too, while 7-2-1 in the previous 10 in the series since Feb. 23, 2022.

Golden Knights 3, Jets 2

BET GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-105).

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.

Jets at Kings projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (15-2-2, 2.06 GAA, .929 SV%, 3 SO) vs. David Rittich (7-6-0, 2.65 GAA, .883 SV%)

As mentioned, Hellebuyck was an absolute stud Monday, stopping 43 of 44 shots in his 4-1 taming of the Wild. He has allowed 1 goal apiece in 2 straight starts. Looking at goalies who have played at least 8 games, his 2.06 GAA and .929 SV% both rank first. He was 1-1 with a 3.50 GAA and .889 SV% in 2 starts against the Kings last season.

The Kings were treading water just fine with Darcy Kuemper on the shelf until Monday. Rittich allowed 7 goals in that one, but he allowed 7 goals in his last 6 appearances combined. He has allowed 1 goal or fewer in half of his 12 starts this season.

Moneyline

The Kings (-110) are 17th in hockey with 2.95 goals per game, and they’re facing a mountain of a challenge with Hellebuyck between the pipes.

I love the JETS (-110) at this price. They’re tied for first with 4.05 goals per game, and the Kings’ confidence has been shaken after Monday’s 7-2 loss to the Sharks.

Puck line/Against the spread

I’m going with KYLE CONNOR OVER 0.5 ASSISTS (+115) here. He has helpers in 3 of 4 games, and he had 3 assists in 2 games against the Kings last season with fewer than 3 shots in each.

Over/Under

The Jets are 2-8 O/U in their last 10, thanks to their awesome goaltending. The Kings, known to be a defensive-minded club, are 3-5-2 O/U in the same span. One or both teams have scored 4 goals in the last 6 meetings.

I feel an OVER 5.5 (-105) cashing.

Jets at Wild projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (14-2-0, 2.13 GAA, .924 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Filip Gustavsson (9-3-3, 2.13 GAA, .924 SV%, 1 SO)

Jets at Wild picks and predictions

Prediction

Wild 3, Jets 2

Moneyline

BET WILD (+100).

Minnesota has won 2 of its last 3 games and is 6-2-1-1 in its last 10. It has the home-ice advantage in what should play out to be a matchup of 2 of the NHL’s top teams.

Winnipeg has fallen in 3 of its last 4 away games, scoring 1 or fewer goals in 3 straight on the road.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

The value on Minnesota to win straight up is better than the spread.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 5.5 (-105).

The Jets have hit the Under in 7 of their last 10 games. They’ve scored 1 or fewer goals in 3 of their last 5 games and allowed 3 or fewer in 6 of their last 9.

Winnipeg Jets at Pittsburgh Penguins odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Winnipeg Jets at Pittsburgh Penguins odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Winnipeg Jets (16-3-0) take on the Pittsburgh Penguins (7-10-4) in 1 of 2 games around the league Friday. Puck drop from PPG Paints Arena is set for 7 p.m. ET (NHL Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Jets vs. Penguins odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: Jets lead 1-0

The Jets brushed off their longest losing streak of their monstrous season, a whopping 2 games, with a 6-3 victory over the Florida Panthers Tuesday. C Mark Scheifele had a hat trick to give him 12 goals on the year, and LW Kyle Connor netted his 12th of the year as well.

The Pens have lost 4 of 5 after a 3-2 OT defeat to the Tampa Bay Lightning Tuesday. RW Rickard Rakell scored his 7th goal of the season. Pittsburgh is last in the league with 3.86 goals allowed per game and 30th with 32.9 shots on goal allowed.

Moneyline (ML): Jets -185 (bet $185 to win $100) | Penguins +150 (bet $100 to win $150)
Puck line (PL)/Against the spread (ATS): Jets -1.5 (+135) | Penguins +1.5 (-160)
Over/Under (O/U): 6.5 (O: +100 | U: -120)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Jets at Penguins projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (13-2-0, 2.20 GAA, .923 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Tristan Jarry (1-2-1, 4.72 GAA, .863 SV%)

If a goalie were ever in consideration for the Hart Trophy, it would be Hellebuyck to this point. He’s 6-1-0 with a 2.29 GAA, .923 SV% and 2 SO in 7 games this month. He was 1-1-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .937 SV% in 2 starts against Pittsburgh last year.

Jarry was not great in his first game back from his conditioning or instructional assignment — whatever you want to call it. He allowed 5 goals on 38 shots to a “meh” Columbus Blue Jackets team Nov. 15. He answered with 32 saves on 35 shots against the Lightning Tuesday. He was 1-1-0 with a .963 SV% in 2 starts against the Jets last year, including a 23-save shutout.

Jets at Penguins picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 4, Penguins 2

Moneyline

I would consider the Jets -185 here. I feel they are that far ahead of the Penguins, even at home.

However, let’s get those odds down a little bit and SGP JETS ML + KYLE CONNOR 2 SOG (-130). Conner has 2+ SOG in 7 straight games.

Puck line/Against the spread

We’re going with an SGP with very little risk in the ML section. So let’s just head to the total.

PASS.

Over/Under

Because this is at 6.5, I am taking the Under. I don’t trust the Penguins to score the 3 goals necessary to cash an Over. The Pens are 22nd in the league with 2.67 G/game and tied for 27th with a paltry 8.7% shooting percentage. Jarry has lived up to his jarring name all season, allowing 3+ goals in each of his starts. So that’s the only concern, but I’m going UNDER 6.5 (-120).

Florida Panthers at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Florida Panthers at Winnipeg Jets odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Florida Panthers (12-5-1) take on the Winnipeg Jets (15-3-0) Tuesday. Puck drop from Canada Life Centre is set for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Panthers vs. Jets odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: Panthers lead 1-0

The Panthers smoked the Jets 5-0 Saturday in the first half of this home-and-home set. C Aleksander Barkov scored his 3rd goal of the season and added 2 assists for Florida, which covered as a -142 favorite with the Under (6) sneaking in for a cash. Barkov has an 8-game point streak, and the Panthers have won 8 of 10.

The Jets have lost 2 in a row now for the first time this season — they won 7 straight — and were 15-1 — before the current slide. They were outscored 9-1 in the 2 losses. LW Kyle Connor had just 4 shots on goal, 0 points and was a -5 in those games.

Panthers at Jets projected goalies

Sergei Bobrovsky (9-3-1, 2.89 GAA, .897 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (12-2-0, 2.14 GAA, .926 SV%, 3 SO)

Bob stopped all 27 shots against Winnipeg Saturday in his 45th career shutout. He made a huge save on C Mark Scheifele midway through the 2nd period to keep it 2-0. That said, he was a little leaky in 4 other November starts, allowing 3+ goals in 3 of them.

Hellebuyck was great before allowing 5 goals to the Cats Saturday. He allowed 4 goals combined in the previous 4 games, which included 2 shutouts. Hellebuyck is 7-1-0 with a 1.88 GAA and .934 SV% at home and 5-1-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .916 SV% on the road.

Panthers at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 4, Jets 3

Moneyline

As mentioned, the Panthers won Saturday’s game 5-0 with physical play and goaltending. They went 0-for-3 on the power play. Winnipeg’s torrid start has been built on the foundation of Hellebuyck standing on his head. He’s only allowed 4+ goals in a game 3 times this season.

How will the Jets respond to this test in a brutal stretch of schedule against Eastern Conference foes? I think Florida punches them in the mouth again, and for a team that’s not used to playing from behind, they lose their 3rd in a row.

TAKE PANTHERS (+100) … especially at even-money.

Puck line/Against the spread

I am jumping on ALEKSANDER BARKOV OVER 0.5 ASSISTS (-120). As mentioned, he has an 8-game point streak. He has assists in each of those and 14 in the 10 games he’s played this season.

In some states, BetMGM Sportsbook has a 20% NHL odds boost token available. Slap that on it to get better odds.

Over/Under

These teams have gone Under in the last 2 head-to-head meetings. Those resulted in shutouts, though, which is not happening Tuesday night. They were Over in the 4 previous games. Florida is 6-3 O/U in their last 9, and Winnipeg is 5-5 over their last 10.

I like OVER 5.5 (-110).
