The Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues are two of the hottest teams in the league because of their defensive play ahead of their meeting at the Enterprise Center on Thursday, April 9.
I’m not expecting much to change with both teams still not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, so my top Jets vs. Blues predictions and NHL picks call for a low-scoring game between the Central Division rivals tonight.
Jets vs Blues prediction
Jets vs Blues best bet: Under 5.5 (-110)
It took a while, but the Winnipeg Jets are finally stringing together wins in a postseason push with an active 11-5-2 record while allowing just 2.67 goals per game and the seventh-fewest expected goals per 60 minutes at 5-on-5.
On the opposite bench, while the St. Louis Blues are all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, they’re also playing an excellent brand of hockey with an 11-3-3 record during the same stretch.
And, similarly, the Blues have allowed a league-low 1.88 goals per game and the fifth-fewest expected goals per 60 at 5-on-5.
This game goes Under the number.
Jets vs Blues same-game parlay
As well as St. Louis has played, this is a must-win game for Winnipeg, and I expect the Jets to do just that. The Blues have the highest team save percentage at 5-on-5 during the highlighted 11-3-3 stretch, so look for a splash of statistical correction tonight.
Turning to the final leg of this same-game parlay, Winnipeg center Mark Scheifele has recorded two or more shots in six of his past eight games for 20 total on 39 attempts while logging a monster 22:13 per night.
