St. Louis vs Winnipeg

The Winnipeg Jets look poised to extend their great run of form as they host the St. Louis Blues on Monday evening. The Blues have been cruising late in the season with a twelve-game win streak but still dealing with the absence of Colton Parayko. Winnipeg, meanwhile, has already clinched a playoff berth and is aiming to secure home-ice advantage—making this matchup vital. The Jets boast one of the NHL's most cohesive top lines, with Mark Scheifele, Gabriel Vilardi, and Kyle Connor showing strong chemistry and overwhelming possession stats, especially at home. While Jordan Binnington has kept the Blues competitive, his save percentage against the Jets this season sits just below .900. Considering the Jets’ current form and their dominance at home (27-10-1), backing Winnipeg on the Moneyline at -165 presents fair value. However, the shorter payout limits the upside for bettors, giving this pick a solid B+ due to safety, but not spectacular return. Odds and availability are subject to change.

With Jordan Binnington and Connor Hellebuyck both dialed in for their respective playoff pushes, Monday night’s tilt in Winnipeg is setting up to be a low-scoring battle. The Jets have surrendered just fifteen goals during their current 6-4-1 run (1.5 goals per game), while the Blues has been grinding out close games on their own twelve-game run. With the Blues appearance in the playoffs all but locked in-bound, tonight’s clash could skew more toward defensive strategy than fireworks. Injuries further reduce the scoring ceiling, as the Blues will again be without Dylan Holloway, a key top-six forward, while the Jets will still miss Gabriel Vilardi, who has historically been effective against St. Louis. Offensively, Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor have had their moments versus the Blues, but Hellebuyck’s dominance in prior matchups (1.87 GAA and .935 SV% in his last five vs STL) tips the scale toward the Under. Both teams have exceeded 5.5 goals combined in just two of their last seven meetings. Given the form of each goaltender and the grinding playoff mentality taking hold, scoring should stay low in a tightly contested Central Division clash. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Coming off a dominant run, the Jets are flying high into their Monday night divisional clash with the surging St. Louis Blues, who’ve been cruising late in the season with twelve straight wins. Winnipeg’s top line—anchored by Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele—continues to thrive at even-strength, while Connor Hellebuyck remains a wall in net, giving up only two total goals over his last three outings. On the other side, the Notes are without defenseman Colton Parayko and have been struggling to suppress opposing power plays without him. Historically, Winnipeg has matched up well against St. Louis at home, going 4-1 in their last five at Canada Life Centre, and they're now locked in a race for the Central Division crown, amplifying their motivation. With playoff seeding on the line and the Blues potentially looking ahead to the offseason, the Jets are primed to cover the puckline. At +158, the value makes this a worthwhile risk, though St. Louis’s grit keeps it from being a sure thing. Odds and availability are subject to change.
