Jets at Oilers: Projected starting goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (6-4-1, .921 SV%, 2.36 GAA) vs. Mikko Koskinen (6-7-0, .895 SV%, 3.43 GAA)

Hellebuyck comes off the 2-1 loss to the Senators in which he stopped 27 of 29 shots on goal. He made 41 stops on 42 shots in the prior victory. He allowed 4 goals on 26 shots against the Oilers earlier this season, but he went 2-1-0 against them last season with just 5 goals allowed on 88 total shots over three appearances.

Koskinen stopped 40 of 42 shots in a win over the Senators Tuesday and enters Monday’s contest on plenty of rest. He got the win in three of his last four starts, but he posted a save percentage of just .886 while playing both games against the Jets in January.

Jets at Oilers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jets 3, Oilers 2

Money line (ML)

The JETS (+115) are the play with a significant edge in the goaltending battle. Recently-acquired C Pierre-Luc Dubois (lower body) isn’t expected to play Monday but there should still be enough offense after the Jets totaled 9 goals in two games against the Oilers less than a month ago.

Both teams struggle with puck possession and rank near the bottom-third of the league in Corsi For percentage and scoring chances at 5-on-5. The Oilers rely heavily on a 10th-ranked power-play unit but the Jets spend less time in the box than all but four other teams.

A disciplined effort from the Jets gives them a shot at the road upset.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the chalky puck line play and stick with Winnipeg for the outright win. Hellebuyck should keep his team within a goal for much of the game but there’s potential for an empty-net goal from either side.

Over/Under (O/U)

Lean to the UNDER 6.5 (-110). The two games between these two last month saw totals of 7 and 10 goals scored but two of the three head-to-head meetings last season played to the Under.

The Oilers have also played to three straight Unders coming into Monday while the Jets are 0-4-1 against the O/U in their last five games.

Ottawa Senators at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Ottawa Senators at Winnipeg Jets NHL odds and lines, with hockey picks, tips and predictions.

The Ottawa Senators (2-11-1) visit the Winnipeg Jets (7-4-1) for the first game of another two-game set in the all-Canadian North Division. Thursday’s puck drop at Bell MTS Place will be at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Senators-Jets NHL odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The Jets swept a three-game set in Ottawa from Jan. 19-23. They won all three games over the Senators by a combined score of 14-7 and won each of the last two games of the series by 3-goal margins.

Over/Under: 6 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Senators at Jets: Projected starting goalies

Matt Murray (2-6-1, .886 SV%, 2.65 GAA) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (5-3-1, .911 SV%, 2.55 GAA)

Murray was forced into action in relief of backup Marcus Hogberg Tuesday and stopped all 9 Edmonton Oilers shots in just under 35 minutes of action. The veteran has a .947 save percentage over his last four appearances.

Hellebuyck’s shot count has been down a little bit this season, as he has faced 30 or more shots just twice in his nine games after leading the league in shots faced each of the last two seasons. He took the loss his last time out against the Calgary Flames with 3 goals allowed on 29 shots.

Senators at Jets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Senators 3, Jets 2

Money line (ML)

The SENATORS (+180) are worth backing for the road upset with Murray back in net and in top form recently. Ottawa vastly outplayed Edmonton Tuesday but was undone by a poor goaltending performance from Hogberg.

The Senators’ Corsi For, expected goals and scoring chance metrics at 5-on-5 have been trending up in recent games, and they actually have a narrow edge over the Jets in total shot attempts, including blocked and missed shots, at full strength.

Special teams play has been a major weakness for Ottawa, but the value is right for a team much improved in 5-on-5 play from when these two teams met a few weeks ago.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Jets are so heavily favored on the money line that there’s actually plenty of value in a play on the SENATORS +1.5 (-125) to stay within 1 goal in a loss.

Two of the Senators’ last three losses were played within a single-goal margin, and the other loss required an empty-netter from the Oilers. Three of Winnipeg’s last four games were decided by a single goal as the Jets went 1-1-1 in those contests.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the UNDER 6 (-105) in a goaltending matchup between the reigning Vezina Trophy winner and a rapidly improving Murray.

There are some concerns over penalty trouble in a physical game, but the Sens can win a low-scoring game if the majority of it is played at even strength.

Vancouver Canucks at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Vancouver Canucks at Winnipeg Jets NHL odds and lines, with hockey picks, tips and predictions.

The Vancouver Canucks (5-5-0) travel to meet the Winnipeg Jets (5-2-0) at Bell MTS Place Saturday for a 10 p.m. ET puck drop. Below, we analyze the Canucks-Jets NHL odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Over/Under: 6.5 (O: +100 | U: -120)

Canucks at Jets: Projected starting goalies

Thatcher Demko (2-3-0, 3.65 GAA, .909 SV%) at Connor Hellebuyck (4-1-0, 2.60 GAA, .906 SV%)

Demko yielded just one goal on 43 shots in a win over the Ottawa Senators Wednesday, and he has allowed just two goals on 79 shots in his past two starts (both wins). G Braden Holtby allowed just one goal on 37 shots last against the Senators Thursday, easily his most impressive showing in a Canucks sweater. Head coach Travis Green is employing a goaltender rotation, and after a rough start it is starting to click.

Hellebuyck is coming off his worst outing of the season, coughing up four goals on 26 shots in a win over the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday. While he has a 3-0-0 record at home, he has posted a 3.31 GAA and .863 SV% in three starts, while going 1-1-0 with a 1.52 GAA and .955 SV% in two road outings. He was 2-0-0 with a 0.50 GAA, .986 SV% and a shutout in two starts against Vancouver last season.

Canucks at Jets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jets 5, Canucks 3

Money line (ML)

The JETS (-130) are a good play on home ice against the .500 Canucks. Yes, Vancouver is on a three-game win streak, but those wins came against the struggling Senators. For whatever reason, Winnipeg has had Vancouver’s number, going 14-2 in the past 16 meetings, including 10-1 in the past 11 meetings in Manitoba. The favorite is also a ridiculous 19-3 over the previous 22 meetings.

Against the spread (ATS)

The JETS -1.5 (+200) are worth a small-unit play with a chance to double up your investment on a team at home. It might take an empty-net goal, but the Jets will get it done. They have also covered the puck line in each of their past three victories.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 6.5 (+1-0) is the play. The Over has connected in each of the past three games for the Jets, while cashing in five of the previous seven outings for the Canucks. Look for the Over to connect in this first of eight head-to-head meetings this season.

Over/Under: 6 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Senators at Jets: Projected starting goalies

Matt Murray (1-2-1, 3.79 GAA, .880 SV%) at Connor Hellebuyck (2-1-0, 2.00 GAA, .935 SV%)

Murray got off to a strong start with a 5-3 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs last Friday, but he has since lost two in regulation and one in overtime in his past three starts. He has allowed three or more goals in each outing, too, as the 26-year-old has yet to stand on his head and steal a game. He coughed up four goals on 26 shots Thursday against the Jets in Canada’s capital city.

Hellebuyck is back on home ice for the first time since the season-opener against the Calgary Flames. He stopped 23 of the 26 shots he faced in that 4-3 overtime win, and he was the winning goalie in Thursday’s game at Ottawa, making 28 saves on 29 shots in the 4-1 victory.

Senators at Jets: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jets 4, Senators 2

Money line (ML)

The JETS (-145) are a strong play on home ice, as they have won each of the first two meetings with the Senators. Winnipeg also won its only previous home game this season against Calgary.

The Jets won’t cost you an arm and a leg, which is nice. RW Patrik Laine (upper body) is sidelined indefinitely, so that splashes a little cold water on the Jets, but that absence didn’t slow them down in the previous two against the Sens.

Against the spread (ATS)

The JETS -1.5 (+180) are a strong value to win by 2 or more goals. They have outscored the Sens 8-4 in the first two games, covering the puck line last time out.

They cashed in both games against the puck line last season vs. OTT.

Over/Under (O/U)

I am not a big fan of a total of 6. I think this one lands right on the number, so AVOID.

The Over/Under split in the first two meetings in Ottawa, and is 2-2 for the Jets overall. The Over/Under is also 2-2 in the first four for the Sens.

Winnipeg Jets at Ottawa Senators odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Winnipeg Jets at Ottawa Senators NHL betting odds and lines, with hockey picks, tips and predictions.

The Ottawa Senators (1-1-1) will look to bounce back from a 4-3 overtime loss Tuesday in their second game of three straight against the Winnipeg Jets (2-1-0).

Jets at Senators: Projected starting goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (1-1-0, .921 SV%, 2.51 GAA) vs. Matt Murray (1-1-1, .890 SV%, 3.30 GAA)

Hellebuyck gave way to backup Laurent Brossoit for the first game against the Sens. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner stopped 35 of 37 shots in a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs Monday.

The Sens seem committed to getting their money’s worth from Murray after signing him to a 4-year, $25 million contract in the offseason. He’s expected to make a fourth straight start over backup Marcus Hogberg.

Jets at Senators: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Senators 3, Jets 2

Money line (ML)

The SENATORS (+110) are the play at plus-money after outplaying the Jets in the first meeting. Ottawa registered 55.56% of the total shot attempts (including blocked and missed shots) at 5-on-5, and it doubled up Winnipeg in scoring chances 24-12.

The Senators scored twice in five power-play opportunities Tuesday and the Jets went 1-for-5 with the man advantage. The Jets will get a boost Thursday with Hellebuyck returning to the net, but the Sens are the play as the much better team from Tuesday.

Against the spread (ATS)

I’m fine with paying up for the SENATORS +1.5 (-250) on the puck line. This gives Ottawa the insurance of another narrow, 1-goal loss in regulation, overtime, or a shootout.

The Jets were on the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday and Hellebuyck has a knack for stealing games. They should come out with a better effort, but this will be another close game.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the UNDER 6 (+100). Both teams are without a key offensive player with LW Patrik Laine (upper body) sidelined for Winnipeg and rookie LW Tim Stutzle (undisclosed) out for Ottawa.

A rested Hellebuyck should turn in a strong performance and Murray is yet to play his best this season.

These two teams will play Tuesday and Thursday in Ottawa and then relocate to Winnipeg for a third straight head-to-head contest. The Jets are coming off a 3-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs Monday. The Senators took a 3-2 loss against the Maple Leafs Saturday and have been off for two days.

Laurent Brossoit (2019-20 stats: 6-7-1, .895 SV%, 3.28 GAA) vs. Matt Murray (1-1-0, .905 SV%, 3.02 GAA)

Brossoit is expected to draw into the net Tuesday with starter Connor Hellebuyck facing 37 shots and taking the loss against the Toronto Maple Leafs Monday. The rarely used backup is 2-1-1 with an .899 save percentage in five career appearances against the Sens.

Murray figures to be heavily used by the Senators this season after signing a 4-year, $25-million contract in the offseason. The former Pittsburgh Penguins netminder has a .900 SV% and 3.01 GAA in five career games against the Jets.

Jets at Senators: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Senators 4, Jets 3

Money line (ML)

The SENATORS (-105) are a nice value play as home underdogs against a tired opponent. Brossoit will make his first start since Feb. 25 of last season. The Sens are rested, and a much-improved, young team should be high on confidence after splitting a two-game set against a heavily favored Maple Leafs squad.

Both teams are at the bottom of the league in analytics, such as Corsi For percentage and scoring chances for, but they’ve also faced better competition than they’ll see against each other.

Both power-play units have struggled, but look for the Senators to draw a few more opportunities against a tired and potentially less-disciplined opponent. The two-day rest advantage for a young team early in this unique season should prove highly beneficial.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the puck line. If the Senators pull off the slight upset, it’s most likely to come by a single-goal margin. There’s much better value in backing Ottawa to win outright rather than paying up for the single goal of insurance in the event of a loss.

Over/Under (O/U)

Back the OVER 6 (-120). There’s plenty of offensive firepower on both sides and Brossoit rarely inspires confidence when spelling Hellebuyck.

Calgary Flames at Winnipeg Jets odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Calgary Flames at Winnipeg Jets NHL betting odds and lines, with hockey picks, tips and predictions.

The Winnipeg Jets host the rival Calgary Flames at Bell MTS Place for an 8 p.m. ET puck drop Thursday. It’s the season-opener for both teams after the Flames beat the Jets 3-1 in their five-game qualification round series in the 2019-20 postseason. Below, we analyze the Flames-Jets NHL betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Against the spread/ATS: Flames -1.5 (+220) | Jets +1.5 (-280)
Over/Under: 6 (O: +100 | U: -120)

Flames at Jets: Projected starting goalies

Jacob Markstrom (23-16-4, .918 SV%, 2.75 GAA) vs. Connor Hellebuyck (31-21-5, .922 SV%, 2.57 GAA)

Markstrom, 30, had a career-best season with the Vancouver Canucks in 2019-20. He finished fourth in Vezina Trophy voting and landed a 6-year, $36-million contract in free agency. He was 0-2 against Calgary with Vancouver last regular season, allowing 7 goals on 60 shots.

Hellebuyck is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner after leading the league in games played (58), saves (1,656) and shutouts (6). He stopped 29 of 30 shots in his lone regular-season start against the Flames.

Flames at Jets: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jets 3, Markstrom 2

Money line (ML)

Take the value of the home underdog JETS (+105) in a battle of top goaltenders. Both teams have kept their cores intact from last season, and while the Flames have the better defense group, Hellebuyck’s familiarity with his bunch will prove beneficial as Markstrom gets familiarized with his new team.

Winnipeg won’t have its usual home-ice advantage but this will be a low-scoring, coin-flip game. Always take the value in that scenario.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the spread with no value on either side of what projects as a one-goal game. The Jets topped the Flames 2-1 in overtime in the 2019-20 regular season and their lone playoff win was decided 3-2. The Flames won playoff games by scores of 4-1, 6-2 and 4-0 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, but better defensive play should be expected from Winnipeg this season.

A prop bet of Jets to win by 1 pays out at +625 as an alternative play.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 6 (-120) is the strongest play in this one but the alternate line of UNDER 5.5 (+105) offers the better value while still needing the same result of 5 or fewer total goals scored for a bet to cash.

All but one of the five meetings between the two last season saw 5 or fewer goals scored and the goaltending situation has markedly improved for Calgary. Don’t expect either team to score more than three goals.
