Previous Games:

  • Ducks: Coming off a 6-3 loss to Calgary

Head-to-Head:

Anaheim pulled off a 4-3 win over Winnipeg earlier this season, but the Jets have dominated the series overall—winning 8 of the last 10 matchups. Winnipeg has also won 4 straight at home and are 15-5 in their last 20 on home ice.

Anaheim Ducks Breakdown:

The Ducks have dropped four straight road games and are giving up 3.8 goals per game over their last 10. With Ville Husso expected to start in net—and his poor stats this season (2-6-2 record, 2.92 GAA, .880 SV%)—Anaheim’s defensive issues are unlikely to improve. The Ducks have also struggled offensively, averaging just 2.5 goals in their last 10 and converting on the power play at a weak 6.3% clip.

Key Players:

  • Leo Carlsson: 2 goals, 7 assists last 10 games

  • Cutter Gauthier: 6 goals, 2 assists last 10 games

Winnipeg Jets Breakdown:

Winnipeg is peaking at the right time and looking to lock down momentum heading into the playoffs. They’re 7-3 in their last 10 and have been outstanding defensively—allowing just 2.0 goals per game during that stretch. Connor Hellebuyck is putting up Vezina-worthy numbers with a 1.74 GAA, .928 SV%, and two shutouts in his last 10 starts.

Key Players:

  • Kyle Connor: 4 goals, 6 assists last 10 games

  • Mark Scheifele: 3 goals, 6 assists last 10 games

Betting Trends:

Anaheim Ducks:

  • 1-4 in last 5 road games

  • 2-8 in last 10 road games overall

  • 5-5 in last 10 games

Winnipeg Jets:

  • 4-game home win streak

  • 15-5 in last 20 at home

  • 7-3 in last 10 overall

  • 8-2 last 10 vs. Ducks

Exact Score Prediction:

Winnipeg Jets 3 – Anaheim Ducks 1

Our Best Bet:

Under 5.5 (-110)

The Ducks’ offense has been stale, and now they face one of the best defensive teams in the NHL on the road. Connor Hellebuyck is in elite form, and the Jets may not need to push the pace in a game that means more for rhythm than standings. Anaheim will struggle to score, and Winnipeg is unlikely to run up the score with the playoffs around the corner. The value lies in the total.
