Previous Games:

  • Blues: Coming off a 5-1 home win over Winnipeg

  • Jets: Lost 2 straight in St. Louis

Head-to-Head:

The series is tied 2-2, with St. Louis taking control in recent games, winning 12-3 in the last two matchups. However, Winnipeg's home record and the presence of elite goalie Connor Hellebuyck gives them a slight edge heading into this crucial Game 5.

St. Louis Blues Breakdown:

St. Louis has found offensive rhythm lately, averaging 3.9 goals per game in their last 10. Jordan Kyrou continues to be a key scorer, and Robert Thomas has 81 points this season, making the offense potent. However, their penalty kill (74.3%) could be a major vulnerability against Winnipeg's power play.

Defensively, the Blues allow 2.82 goals per game, and Jordan Binnington has posted a 2.62 GAA and a .895 SV%. With key defensemen injured, their defense will need to step up to prevent the high-powered Jets offense from breaking through.

Key Players:

  • Jordan Kyrou: 3 goals, 7 assists in the last 10 games

  • Robert Thomas: 4 goals, 14 assists in the last 10 games

Winnipeg Jets Breakdown:

Winnipeg has been elite at home, going 30-7-4 and winning 8 of their last 10. Connor Hellebuyck, with a stellar 2.01 GAA and .925 SV%, is the backbone of their success. The Jets' defense allows just 2.32 goals per game, and their penalty kill (79.4%) should make life difficult for the Blues' power play.

Offensively, Kyle Connor has been dynamic with 41 goals and 97 points, and Mark Scheifele is always a threat. With Nikolaj Ehlers out, the Jets will lean on these two to carry the offensive load.

Key Players:

  • Kyle Connor: 6 goals, 5 assists in the last 10 games

  • Mark Scheifele: 4 goals, 6 assists in the last 10 games

Betting Trends:

St. Louis Blues:

  • 5 wins, 4 losses, and 1 overtime loss in their last 10 games

  • Over in 6 of their last 7 games

Winnipeg Jets:

  • 6 wins, 4 losses in their last 10 games

  • Under in 11 of their last 15 games

Exact Score Prediction:

Winnipeg Jets 3 – St. Louis Blues 1

Our Best Bet:

Winnipeg Jets 3-Way ML (-110)

The Jets are strong at home and have been dominant in previous meetings with the Blues, winning 7 of the last 10 matchups. With Connor Hellebuyck in net and their top-tier defense, Winnipeg should tighten up after recent struggles on the road. St. Louis may have found offensive success, but Winnipeg’s defensive prowess and home advantage should secure them a multi-goal win.
