Jets at Flames projected goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (37-25-2, 2.49 GAA, .920 SV%, 4 SO – 2022-23) vs. Jacob Markstrom (23-21-12, 2.92 GAA, .892 SV% , 1 SO)

Hellebuyck is fresh off signing a 7-year, $59 million extension. He was just 1-2-0 in 3 starts against the Flames last season despite a solid 2.71 GAA and .924 SV%.

Markstrom picked up a win on April 5 in Winnipeg, kicking aside 34 of the 35 shots he faced. He won 2 of his 3 starts against the Jets last season, and he also allowed just 2 goals on 23 shots in his only home start against Winnipeg in a 3-2 victory on Nov. 12.

Jets at Flames picks and predictions

Prediction

Flames 3, Jets 2

Moneyline

The FLAMES (-140) are a decent play as moderate favorites in the opener. Calgary has dominated Winnipeg over the years at the Scotiabank Saddledome, going 17-8 in the past 25 home games against the Jets. The home team has picked up victories in 4 of the past 5 meetings overall in the series, too.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Jets +1.5 (-210) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return if you want a little bit of insurance and just cannot play the Jets straight up.

The underdog is 6-2 in the past 8 meetings, so there is some merit to backing the Jets on the puck line, but that’s just too big of a price to pay and it could easily be spoiled by a late empty-net goal.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-120) might be the best play on the board with 2 solid goaltenders going against each other.

The Under has been the way lately when these teams have met, too, going 7-2-1 in the past 10 meetings in Calgary and 23-8-1 in the past 32 meetings overall.

Jets at Flames odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Flames 3, Jets 1

Money line

AVOID. Figure the true odds for both sides as being buried between these prices.

Against the spread

Puck-possession analytics really back the recent above-water play by Winnipeg. The Flames have been controlling both blue lines and winning a lot of games by 3-plus. let alone 2-plus. There is an Under lean to this contest, but the CALGARY -1.5 (+105) return is worth the risk.

Over/Under

Lost in Calgary’s recent scoring binge is the kind of buttoned-up defense it has been playing. The Flames have yielded just 25.9 shots per game over their last 11 games, including 23.0 SPG across their last four.

With quality goaltending at both ends, BACK THE UNDER 5.5 (+112).

Winnipeg Jets at Calgary Flames odds, picks and prediction

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

The Winnipeg Jets (21-11-2) play the second game of a three-game set against the Calgary Flames (15-17-3) Saturday with a 10 p.m. ET puck drop at Scotiabank Saddledome. Below, we analyze the Jets-Flames odds and lines, with NHL picks and predictions.

  • Money line: Jets +110 (bet $100 to win $110) | Flames -130 (bet $130 to win $100)

  • Over/Under: 6 (O: +110 | U: -130)

Jets at Flames: Projected starting goalies

Laurent Brossoit (5-2-0, 2.43 GAA, .920 SV%, 1 SO) vs. David Rittich (3-6-1, 2.86 GAA, .908 SV%, 1 SO)

Brossoit will give Connor Hellebuyck a much-needed rest Saturday in the second game of this miniseries in Calgary. He has alternated wins and losses in four starts in March, and he has allowed 3 or fewer goals in each of his last six appearances. That includes a 3-2 win against the Flames Feb. 2 in Winnipeg.

Rittich was on the short end of a 2-0 score at the Toronto Maple Leafs last Saturday, allowing 2 goals on 33 shots in the loss. He has won two of his past four starts, allowing 3 or fewer goals in three of the outings. In his only start against Winnipeg this season Feb. 2 opposite Brossoit, he allowed three goals on 28 shots in the loss.

Jets at Flames: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jets 5, Flames 2

Money line (ML)

The JETS (+110) are short dogs on the road, and a good value play. The Flames enter on a four-game losing skid, and the Calgary offense has had a power outage lately, totaling four goals during the slump.

Winnipeg won 3-2 in the front end of the set, and they’re on a three-game heater, all on the road. Back the hotter team.

Against the spread (ATS)

Playing the Jets +1.5 (-250) makes absolutely no sense, as they’re just too expensive at this price.

Taking a small-unit flyer on the JETS -1.5 (+280) on the alternate line with a chance to nearly triple up is worth a shot. Take advantage while the Flames are down.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 6 (+110) is a little bit risky considering the Flames have posted just 4 total goals over the past four games.

They’re due, however, and the Jets offense is rolling along nicely with 4.0 goals per game across their three-game win streak. This won’t be end-to-end action, and a slam-dunk play, but the Over is worth playing lightly.

Winnipeg Jets at Calgary Flames odds, picks and prediction

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

The Winnipeg Jets (20-11-2) and Calgary Flames (15-16-3) begin a three-game head-to-head set at Scotiabank Saddledome Friday. Game 1 begins with a 10 p.m. ET puck drop. Below, we analyze the Jets-Flames odds and lines, with NHL picks and predictions.

The Jets and Flames are second and sixth, respectively, in the seven-team, all-Canadian North Division. Winnipeg leads the season series 3-1-1 but the two haven’t played since Feb. 9.

The Jets come into this set off of back-to-back road wins over the Vancouver Canucks. These three games will wrap up a seven-game road trip.

Calgary just went 1-3 on a four-game road trip and ended it with three straight losses, the final two of which were against the last-place Ottawa Senators. The Flames scored just 2 goals in those three losses.

  • Over/Under: 6 (O: +100 | U: -120)

Jets at Flames: Projected starting goalies

Connor Hellebuyck (15-9-2, .916 SV%, 2.65 GAA) vs. Jacob Markstrom (12-10-2, .904 SV%, 2.84 GAA)

Hellebuyck stopped 60 of 61 shots in the back-to-back wins over the Canucks. It followed a rare rough stretch for the reigning Vezina Trophy winner in which he allowed 3 or more goals in eight straight games while going 3-4-1. He posted a .903 SV% over 13 games from Feb. 15-March 20.

Markstrom took the loss in both games against the Senators but while stopping 49 of the 53 shots he saw. He returns home where he has a .893 SV% and 2.97 GAA in 12 games played. He’s 2-1-1 with a .896 SV% and 2.94 GAA in four games against the Jets this season.

Jets at Flames: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Jets 3, Flames 2

Money line (ML)

The JETS (+110) have the edge in the goaltending matchup, especially with Markstrom struggling in his home barn in his first season with the Flames, and they come in as the much better team.

Winnipeg is 7-5-1 this month while Calgary is just 5-6-1 and trending in the wrong direction.

Against the spread (ATS)

As much as the Flames are struggling in the win-loss column, they’re still 11th in the league for the season in 5-on-5 Corsi For percentage at 51.38%, while the Jets are just 25th (47.30%). There’s a similar discrepancy in scoring chance percentage.

While I like the Jets for the outright upset, PASS on the puck line play as there’s no incentive to lay -250 for the 1-goal cushion in a loss.

Over/Under (O/U)

Lean to the UNDER 6 (-120) with Hellebuyck seemingly returned to Vezina form and the Flames struggling mightily to score goals.

The Flames have played to the Under in three straight games while the Jets are 1-2-1 against the number over their last four games.
