Senators vs Jets

Winnipeg has finally steadied itself after snapping a rough stretch with a statement win, and the timing matters with Hellebuyck returning to game action right as Ottawa arrives short-handed down the middle and on the back end; with Shane Pinto unavailable and Thomas Chabot still sidelined, the Senators are leaning harder on Tim Stutzle and Brady Tkachuk to create offense, but that’s a tougher ask in this building against a Jets core that has historically generated points versus Ottawa (Mark Scheifele has been a frequent driver in this matchup, and Kyle Connor has produced consistently in recent meetings), so I’ll side with the home moneyline at the given price even if Ottawa’s top line can keep it uncomfortable for long stretches.

Even though both teams have shown they can trade goals recently, the matchup sets up a bit more controlled than the 5.5 suggests: Winnipeg is far more comfortable playing a lower-event game when Hellebuyck is available, and Ottawa’s injury situation (notably Pinto and Chabot, plus Lars Eller being sidelined) reduces both finishing depth and clean breakouts, which often turns into more dump-and-chase hockey and fewer true odd-man looks; add in that Ottawa’s recent results have frequently landed right on the 5-goal range, and I’d rather take the even-money under than pay extra juice for the over.

This is a juice-heavy ask, but if you’re playing a side on the puckline, the path to Winnipeg covering is straightforward: Ottawa’s thin lineup without Pinto and Chabot can get stretched when the Jets’ top-six starts rolling, and Winnipeg’s best match-up forwards can keep Stutzle/Tkachuk from living at the net front for 60 minutes; if the Jets grab the first lead, Hellebuyck’s return makes the “protect and counter” script more realistic, and Scheifele/Connor are exactly the type to turn a one-goal game into an empty-net cover—still, the price drags the grade down because a one-goal finish is very live.
