St. Louis Blues Breakdown:

The Blues have been on a strong run, winning 3 of their last 5 games. Their offense has been led by Robert Thomas (81 points) and Jordan Kyrou (36 goals). However, with Thomas listed day-to-day and Dylan Holloway out, they’ll need a stellar performance from their top players to have a chance in Winnipeg.

St. Louis struggles on the penalty kill, ranking 74.3%.

Key Players:

  • Robert Thomas: 81 points (21G, 60A)

  • Jordan Kyrou: 36 goals, 25 assists

Winnipeg Jets Breakdown:

Winnipeg has been exceptional at home, finishing the regular season with a 30-7-4 record at Canada Life Centre. Kyle Connor leads the team with 97 points (41 goals, 56 assists) and is a critical player for their success. Defensively, Connor Hellebuyck has been outstanding, posting a 2.01 GAA and .925 SV% with eight shutouts. The Jets allow just 2.32 goals per game and dominate on the power play at 28.9%. Despite missing Nikolaj Ehlers, they have more than enough depth to handle the Blues.

Key Players:

  • Kyle Connor: 41 goals, 56 assists

  • Connor Hellebuyck: 2.01 GAA, .925 SV%

Betting Trends:

St. Louis Blues:

  • 13-3 in their last 16 games

  • Over has hit in 5 of the last 6 games

Winnipeg Jets:

  • 4-1 in their last 5 games

  • Under has hit in 10 of the last 11 games

Exact Score Prediction:

Winnipeg Jets 3 – St. Louis Blues 1

Our Best Bet:

Winnipeg Jets ML (-195)

With the Jets dominating both offensively and defensively at home, they should comfortably cover the spread against a banged-up Blues team. St. Louis’ special teams issues and Winnipeg’s strong penalty kill will likely make it tough for the Blues to capitalize. Expect a solid performance from the Jets to take control in Game 1 of this series.
