Winnipeg Jets at Tampa Bay Lightning odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Winnipeg Jets at Tampa Bay Lightning odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Winnipeg Jets (15-1-0) meet the Tampa Bay Lightning (7-6-1) Thursday at Amalie Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Jets vs. Lightning odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: Jets lead 1-0

The Jets show no sign of slowing down. Winnipeg doubled up the New York Rangers 6-3 at Madison Square Garden Tuesday, and it has won 7 straight since its lone setback of the season against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 28, including 2 shutouts in the past 4 outings. The Under is 3-1 n the 4-game span.

The Lightning are looking to avenge a 7-4 loss in Manitoba in the first meeting on Nov. 3 as the Over (6.5) comfortably cashed. Tampa opened a 2-0 lead with goals to Brandon Hagel and Brayden Point in the first 8 minutes of the game. But, it was all Winnipeg from the 12:23 mark of the first period and on.

Tampa Bay is looking to halt an 0-3-1 skid, including a 2-1 loss in its last game last Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Under has cashed in the past 2 games, with the Lightning managing just 3 total goals.

Jets at Lightning projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (12-1-0, 1.92 GAA, .934 SV%, 3 SO) vs. Andrei Vasilevskiy (6-5-1, 2.43 GAA, .910 SV%, 1 SO)

Hellebuyck leads the NHL in victories, and it isn’t even close. He is 5-0-0 with a 1.60 GAA and .948 SV% with a pair of shutouts in November, and he kicked off the month with a win against the visiting Lightning Nov. 3. He allowed 4 goals on 30 shots in that victory.

Vasilevskiy didn’t start that first game in Winnipeg, it was Jonas Johansson who allowed 5 goals on 32 shots. He deserved better in his most recent start, kicking aside 30 of 31 shots in a 2-1 SOL against the Flyers last Thursday. He is 0-2-1 with a 3.12 GAA and .905 SV% in 3 November outings.

Jets at Lightning picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 3, Lightning 2

Moneyline

WINNIPEG (+100) is a worth a look at even-money. It’s a curious line that the books have the red-hot Jets installed as slight underdogs against a Tampa Bay (-120) side which is 0-3-1 in the past 4 outings. The Jets dispatched the Lightning in the first meeting, and they have the hotter tendy going into this rematch.

Puck line/Against the spread

Playing Jets +1.5 (-250) and risking 2 1/2 times your potential return is silly. If you need insurance, it’s just way too much risk for not enough reward. Winnipeg has won 15 of 16 outings to date. If you like the Jets or Lightning, just play that team straight up for a better value.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 6 (+100) is a strong play with a pretty solid goaltender matchup.

The total has gone low in 2 in a row for the Lightning, while cashing at a 4-2-1 clip in Vassy’s past 7 starts.

For the Jets, the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 outings. Don’t go crazy, though, as the Over did cash in the first meeting.

Winnipeg Jets at New York Rangers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Winnipeg Jets at New York Rangers odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Winnipeg Jets (14-1-0) take on the New York Rangers (9-3-1) Tuesday. Puck drop from Madison Square Garden is set for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Jets vs. Rangers odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

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

The Jets have won 6 straight after suffering their first defeat of the year. They became the first team in NHL history to win 14 of their first 15 games. Their latest was a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars Saturday. LW Nikolaj Ehlers tied LW Kyle Connor for the team lead with 9 goals in the game Saturday.

The Rangers shut out the Detroit Red Wings Saturday 4-0. LW Artemi Panarin put his 10th one in the net on the season. The Rangers have been up-and-down at 4-3 in the last 7 games. Two of those losses came at home, where they are 4-2-1 thus far.

Jets at Rangers odds

Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of NHL odds. Lines last updated at 1:59 p.m. ET.

  • Moneyline (ML): Jets +105 (bet $100 to win $105) | Rangers -125 (bet $125 to win $100)
  • Puck line (PL)/Against the spread (ATS): Jets +1.5 (-250) | Rangers -1.5 (+195)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 6 (O: -115 | U: -105)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Jets at Rangers projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (11-1-0, 1.83 GAA, .935 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Igor Shesterkin (6-3-1, 2.62 GAA, .920 SV%, 1 SO)

Hellebuyck has allowed 1 goal total in his last 3 starts, and it was against Dallas Saturday. He stopped 32 of 33 shots fired his way. He’s on a different level right now, and that’s a big reason why his team is the best in the NHL right now. Hellebuyck was 1-0-1 with a 2.41 GAA and .924 SV% in 2 starts against the Rangers last year.

Shesterkin had issues in a 6-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres Thursday. He allowed 5 goals on just 12 shots before he was pulled in the 2nd period. He faced the Jets twice last season, allowing 3 goals on 26 shots in a 4-2 loss and stopping 27 of 29 in a 3-2 OT winner.

Jets at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 3, Rangers 1

Moneyline

It’s early, but Shesterkin hasn’t been all that great at home thus far. He has a 3.23 GAA in 6 home starts and a 1.76 GAA in 4 road starts. The Jets won here the last 2 years, and they have taken 3 of 4 meetings. They’ll make it 4 of 5.

Take the JETS +105.

Puck line/Against the spread

Forget the puck line, and take KYLE CONNOR ANYTIME GOAL +145. He has a 5-game goalless drought he’ll be looking to cease. He scored in this building in each of the last 2 years.

BetMGM has a 20% NHL odds boost token to make it +174.

Over/Under

I like the UNDER 6 (-105) here, but keep in mind this has some push potential. The last meeting had 6 goals, but the previous 6 were less than that threshold. The Jets have hit the Under in 3 straight. The Under is 2-2 in the Rangers’ last 4.

Colorado Avalanche at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Colorado Avalanche (6-7-0) take on the Winnipeg Jets (12-1-0) Thursday. Puck drop from Canada Life Centre is set for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Avalanche vs. Jets odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Jets won all 3 regular-season matchups in 2023-24

The Avs stopped a 3-game skid with a 6-3 victory against the Seattle Kraken Tuesday. C Mikko Rantanen scored 2 goals to give him 6 on the season. C Nathan McKinnon dished out 5 assists to give him 19 total. The Avs’ problem is goal suppression. They are last with 4.15 goals allowed per game yet second-best at only 25.2 shots on goal allowed per game.

The Jets have 99 problems, but a goalie isn’t one of them. They’re second in the league with 2.31 goals allowed per game and first in the league with 4.77 goals scored per game. They took down Utah 3-0 Tuesday to grab their fourth straight win. RW Nino Niederreiter scored his 6th and 7th goals in the game as he looks to challenge his career high of 24 goals.

Avalanche at Jets projected goalies

Alexandar Georgiev (1-4-0, 4.62 GAA, .822 SV%) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (9-1-0, 2.10 GAA, .923 SV%, 2 SO)

Georgiev has taken a bit of a backseat after an awful start to the season. His last start came Oct. 28, a 5-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, in which he stopped 21 of 24. He has allowed 3+ goals in all 6 starts. He faced the Jets twice in the regular season last year, stopping 24 of 27 in a 4-2 loss and allowing 4 goals in a 7-0 loss he was pulled 15 minutes into.

Hellebuyck shut out Utah in his last outing Tuesday, stopping all 21 shots. He had a couple of clunkers recently, allowing 4 goals Sunday and 5 goals to the Toronto Maple Leafs last Monday, but those were the only 2 real blemishes thus far. He went 3-0-0 with a 1.33 GAA and .958 SV% against the Avs during the regular season last year.

Avalanche at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 5, Avalanche 2

Moneyline

Winnipeg took it to the Avs during the regular season last year with 7-2, 7-0 and 7-6 finals before Colorado flipped the tables on them in the playoffs.

These teams couldn’t be further apart on the spectrum from each other. Georgiev is the worst goalie in hockey in terms of saves above expected with a -10.2. The next closest is at -6.7.

The Jets are the right side here, but I’m on board with the puck line.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Jets are 8-5-0 on the puck line thus far. So they have 12 wins and are hitting the puck line about 75% of the time. They beat Colorado by 2+ twice last year, and their last 5 wins overall were by 2+.

Take the JETS -1.5 (+165).

Over/Under

Winnipeg scored 6+ goals in all 3 regular season matchups last season. Colorado’s offense is starting to get healthy and come together. The Avs are 9-3-1 O/U, and Winnipeg is 8-4-1.

Take the OVER 6.5 (-115).

Winnipeg saw contributions from across the lineup with 7 players scoring in their 7-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning as a -144 home favorite, easily surpassing the 6.5 goal total. G Connor Hellebuyck continued his strong start, stopping 26 of 30 shots and improving to 8-1 on the season.

Utah Hockey Club at Jets projected goalies

Connor Ingram (5-2-3, 3.57 GAA, .881 SV%) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (3-8-1, 2.33 GAA, .917 SV%)

Ingram has struggled recently, going 1-2-0 in his last 5 starts while allowing 3.4 goals per game. He’s currently below his career averages of a 3.15 GAA and .904 SV%. In his lone career start against the Jets, he allowed 4 goals on 32 shots.

Hellebuyck opened the season strong, winning 6 straight until a 6-4 loss on Oct. 28 loss against the Toronto Maple Leafs. After allowing 5 goals to the Maple Leafs, he allowed 2 to the Detroit Red Wings, and 4 to the Lightning, resulting in a 3.69 GAA and .872 SV% over his last 3 games.

Utah Hockey Club at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 6, Utah Hockey Club 3

Moneyline

PASS.

The Jets (-190) are the clear favorite, a class above the Utah Hockey Club (+155). Expect a Winnipeg win, but go with the better odds and take them on the puck line.

Puck line/Against the spread

BET WINNIPEG -1.5 (+125).

The Jets come into Tuesday’s game as the statistically and analytically stronger team, holding key advantages over Utah in several areas. Offensively, Winnipeg ranks higher in goals scored per game, shots on goal, power play percentage, and shooting accuracy. The Jets have been on a roll, winning by 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 games and they are undefeated in their last 7 games against Western Conference opponents.

The biggest gap between these teams lies in defense and goaltending. Winnipeg ranks 5th in goals allowed per game, while Utah sits at a distant 26th. Hellebuyck is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner and has a huge stats advantage over Ingram.

Winnipeg also dominates analytically, with higher rankings in xGF/60, xGA/60, and expected goal differential per 60 minutes, making them a clear favorite.

Over/Under

BET OVER 6 (-110).

The Jets have consistently been involved in high-scoring games, with the Over hitting in 8 of their last 9 games and in 11 of their last 13 at home. Winnipeg’s offense has been clicking, scoring 5 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 outings. On the other side, the Utah Hockey Club’s defense has struggled, giving up 4 goals twice in the last 3 games. Despite his string start, Hellebuyck has shown some cracks recently, which could open the door for more scoring. Look for a high total in this matchup.

Andrei Vasilevskiy (6-4-0, 2.54 GAA, .906 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (7-1-0, 2.12 GAA, .923 SV%, 1 SO)

Lightning at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 5, Lightning 3

Moneyline

The JETS (-130) are worth playing at home, as they look to keep up their red-hot ways.

Winnipeg has won 10 times in 11 games, and it has shown no signs of slowing down offensively.

The Lightning (+110) haven’t been as hot as the Jets, but they’ve lost just 4 times in 11 tries. On the road, however, Tampa Bay is just 2-3-0 in the past 5 games since Oct. 19.

Puck line/Against the spread

If you’re a little more adventurous, JETS -1.5 (+185) are worth a look on the puck line, even against a solid team like the Lightning +1.5 (-225).

Winnipeg has won by 2 or more goals in each of the past 3 victories, while covering the puck line in 6 of the 10 wins this season.

In each of Tampa Bay’s 3 losses since Oct. 21, it has lost by 2 or more goals, too.

Over/Under

OVER 6 (-120) is a solid play in this battle in Manitoba.

The Over has cashed in consecutive games for Tampa Bay, while going 5-0 in the past 5 outings on the road.

For Winnipeg, the Over has cashed in each of its past 5 games, while going 7-1 in the past 8 outings since Oct. 18.

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.

Toronto Maple Leafs at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Toronto Maple Leafs at Winnipeg Jets odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Toronto Maple Leafs (4-4-1) take on the Winnipeg Jets (8-0-0) Monday. Puck drop from Canada Life Centre is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Maple Leafs vs. Jets odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Leafs swept 2-0 last season

The Leafs dropped an OT affair as -117 favorites at the Boston Bruins 4-3 Saturday. They’ve now lost 3 straight and 4 of 5. C Auston Matthews scored his 4th goal with under 2 minutes to go to send it to OT. LW Matthew Knies also scored his 4th as he looks to be in a breakout campaign after scoring 15 goals last season.

The Jets continue to be a turbulent monster with a 5-3 win at the Calgary Flames Saturday — the Jets were -108 on the moneyline. They return home after a 3-game road trip. LW Kyle Connor scored his 6th goal of the season in the Calgary win. Meanwhile, G Connor Hellebuyck is second in the league with a 1.66 GAA and .940 SV% — behind Carolina’s Frederik Andersen’s 1.48 GAA and .941 SV%.

Maple Leafs at Jets projected goalies

Anthony Stolarz (3-2-1, 2.19 GAA, .927 SV%) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (6-0-0, 1.66 GAA, .940 SV%, 1 SO)

Stolarz was solid in a Saturday’s 4-3 overtime loss at Boston. He stopped 30 of 34 shots, and it was the first time this season he allowed more than 2 goals. Stolarz is fifth in the league with 5 goals saved above expected.

After allowing just 2 goals in his first 3 games combined, Hellebuyck has allowed 3, 2 and 3. That’s not terrible, but he is starting to even out after a dominant start to the campaign. He faced the Leafs once last season, falling 4-2 at home, but he saved 26 of 29 shots fired his way.

Maple Leafs at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Maple Leafs 3, Jets 2

Moneyline

I’m calling it. The streak ends Monday. Leafs coach Craig Berube has seen a ton of these Jets through the years as the coach of the St. Louis Blues. He didn’t have a ton of success, but he now has the kind of weapons at his disposal to play a heavy team and score when the levee breaks.

TAKE MAPLE LEAFS (-110).

Puck line/Against the spread

I’m going to take MATTHEW KNIES OVER 1.5 SHOTS (-160) here. He has goals in 3 of his last games and 2+ shots in 7 of 9 games. With the defensive focus on Matthews, Knies will continue playing with confidence.

Over/Under

The Leafs are 4-4-1 O/U, and the Jets are 4-3-1. The Over is 4-1 in the Jets’ last 5 games. The Leafs are 3-0-1 O/U in their last 4.

So this is going to be a bit of a contrarian take. Both goalies are playing really well. Hellebuyck has yet to allow more than 3 goals. It’ll be close, but LEAN UNDER 6 (-105) with expectations tempered for a potential push.

Pittsburgh Penguins at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Pittsburgh Penguins (3-3-0) visit the Winnipeg Jets (4-0-0) Sunday. Puck drop from Canada Life Centre is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Penguins vs. Jets odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

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

The Penguins fell 4-1 as +143 home underdogs to the Carolina Hurricanes Friday with the Under (6.5) hitting. LW Drew O’Connor opened the scoring in the 1st period, but the Penguins couldn’t hold the lead as the Hurricanes responded with 4 unanswered goals — 1 in the 1st, 2 in the 2nd and 1 in the 3rd. G Joel Blomqvist faced a tough night, turning aside 35 shots but ultimately succumbing to Carolina’s relentless 39-shot attack.

The Jets stayed undefeated with an 8-3 win as -399 home favorites Friday vs. the San Jose Sharks, hitting the Over (6) by themselves. They surged to a 4-1 lead after the 1st period and never looked back. C Cole Perfetti (2 goals, 2 assists) and LW Nikolaj Ehlers (2 goals, 1 assist) led the charge, contributing to the Jets’ impressive start to the season — they’ve outscored opponents 18-5.

Penguins at Jets projected goalies

Tristan Jarry (1-1-0, 5.47 GAA, .836 SV%) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (4-0-0, 1.25 GAA, .952 SV%, 1 SO)

While rookie Blomqvist has been impressive in his 3 starts (2-2-0, 3.16 GAA, .908 SV%), NHL.com projects Jarry as Sunday’s starter. He has struggled out of the gate and is in dire need of a strong showing. In his last start, he was pulled after allowing 3 goals on 5 shots in the first 11 minutes and 33 seconds of a 6-5 Penguins’ OT home win vs. the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday.

Hellebuyck improved to 4-0 on the season with Friday’s win despite allowing 3 goals on 22 shots. The 10-year veteran had been solid in his first 3 starts, allowing just 2 goals. With a career 2.62 GAA and 38 shutouts, he remains a steady force in net.

Penguins at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 3, Penguins 1

Moneyline

PASS.

There is better value on the Jets’ spread.

Puck line/Against the spread

BET JETS -1.5 (+145).

The Jets have been dominant on home ice, posting a perfect 3-0 record while outscoring their opponents 12-5. Hellebuyck, Winnipeg’s veteran netminder, has been in top form, stopping 100 of the 105 shots — reminiscent of his prime.

Hellebuyck was stellar the last time he faced the Penguins, allowing just 1 goal on 36 shots in a 2-1 home win Feb. 10. With the Jets playing at such a high level and Hellebuyck providing stability in net, betting on Winnipeg to cover the spread at home seems like a strong play.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 6 (+100).

The last 6 meetings between these 2 teams — dating back to 2021 — have all gone Under the total, suggesting a pattern of low-scoring games. The Under is 2-1-1 so far in Jets’ games this season and Hellebuyck has been stellar, allowing just 5 goals across 4 games.

Meanwhile, the Penguins offense has been inconsistent, showing both high-scoring bursts and struggles to find the back of the net. With a strong defensive presence in Winnipeg and Pittsburgh’s unpredictability, the Under is a solid bet here.

San Jose Sharks at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s San Jose Sharks at Winnipeg Jets odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The San Jose Sharks (0-2-2) visit the Winnipeg Jets (3-0-0) Friday. Puck drop from Canada Life Centre is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Sharks vs. Jets odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting of season. Jets won 2-1 last season.

The Sharks have yet to find their first win of the season following a 4-2 loss against Chicago Thursday as +160 road underdogs. RW Tyler Toffoli scored his 3rd goal of the season while LW William Eklund and C Mikael Granlund each had 2 assists.

Winnipeg remains undefeated after taking down Minnesota 2-1 in overtime Sunday as a -155 home favorite. C Mark Scheifele had a goal and an assist while LW Kyle Connor also found the back of the net in the win.

Sharks at Jets projected goalies

Mackenzie Blackwood (0-0-2, 3.34 GAA, .910 SV%) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (3-0-0, 0.66 GAA, .976 SV%, 1 SO)

Blackwood allowed 5 goals in his first game, but he rebounded with 2 goals passing him by on 38 shots in his 2nd start. He a .910 SV%, which is respectable. He has a career 3.08 GAA and .904 SV%.

Hellebuyck has had one of the best starts in net in the NHL. He has allowed just 2 goals through 3 games, which gives him the 2nd-best GAA in the league and the best SV%. He has saved 81 of 83 total shots and is an integral part to the Jets early season success.

Sharks at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 3, Sharks 1

Moneyline

PASS.

There is better value on the Jets’ spread.

Puck line/Against the spread

BET JETS -1.5 (-135).

Winnipeg has allowed just 2 goals through 3 games this season while scoring 10 in that same span. It faces a Sharks team that has scored 2 goals or fewer in each of its last 3 games and has yet to win a game this season. With home-ice advantage, the Jets have good value to cover the spread.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 5.5 (-120).

San Jose has struggled offensively to start the season, scoring 4 goals combined in each of its last 3 games. It has also limited opponents to 3 goals or fewer in 2 of its last 3 games, failing to hit the Over 3 games in a row. The Jets have also failed to hit the Over 3 games in a row after scoring 2 goals in back-to-back games and limiting opponents to 2 goals combined in their last 3 games.
