Previous Games:

  • Jets: Won Game 1, 5-3

  • Blues: Lost 4 of their last 5

Head-to-Head:

Winnipeg took Game 1 with a commanding 5-3 win, extending St. Louis’ recent road struggles. The Jets now lead the series 1-0 and look to continue their dominance on home ice, where they’ve won 8 of their last 10.

St. Louis Blues Breakdown:

The Blues showed flashes in Game 1, mainly thanks to Jordan Kyrou’s two-goal performance, but their defensive inconsistencies once again surfaced. St. Louis has lost 4 of their last 5 overall and continues to battle depth issues with Torey Krug and Dylan Holloway out. Goaltending remains a concern—Binnington holds a 2.69 GAA and .900 SV%, while the team penalty kill ranks near the bottom at 74.3%. They’re capable offensively but can’t seem to string together solid three-period efforts against top-tier teams.

Key Players:

  • Robert Thomas: 81 points, 60 assists

  • Jordan Kyrou: 36 goals, 68 points

Winnipeg Jets Breakdown:

Winnipeg is on a tear, winning 5 straight and showing why they’re a serious postseason threat. Connor Hellebuyck remains a rock in net, with a 2.01 GAA and .925 SV%, and he made key stops in Game 1 to keep momentum on Winnipeg’s side. Despite missing Vilardi and Ehlers, the Jets’ depth shined with four different scorers contributing in the opener. Their power play (28.9%) and defense (2.32 goals allowed per game) give them a significant edge.

Key Players:

  • Kyle Connor: 41 goals, 97 points

  • Mark Scheifele: 75 points, 25 goals

Betting Trends:

St. Louis Blues:

  • 1-4 in last 5 games

  • 4 straight road losses

  • Over has hit in 6 of last 7

Winnipeg Jets:

  • 5-1 in last 6 games

  • 8-2 in last 10 home games

  • Under has hit in 12 straight Jets games

Exact Score Prediction:

Winnipeg Jets 4 – St. Louis Blues 2

Our Best Bet:

Winnipeg Jets ML (-185)

Winnipeg has the defensive structure, home-ice advantage, and goaltending edge to keep St. Louis from evening the series. The Blues’ injuries and poor penalty kill won’t hold up against a Jets squad firing on all cylinders. Hellebuyck continues to be the difference-maker, and Winnipeg’s depth steps up again to cover the puck line.
