Preview

The Winnipeg Jets hit the road and will visit the Vancouver Canucks at the Canadian Tire Centre on Monday night. These teams already faced each other last month in Winnipeg where the Canucks took the win 5-1. 

 

Winnipeg Jets 

The Jets have won 3 of their first 5 games of the season and are 2-0 at home ranking 4th in the Atlantic division. Winnipeg won their 3rd straight game after beating the Seattle Kraken 5-4 at home.  Jason Dickinson and Tyler Johnson scored 13 seconds apart late in the third period. Max Domi and Jujhar Khaira also scored.

Max Domi leads the Jets with 3 goals while Tyler Johnson has 5 points and 3 assists for Winnipeg.

In their last 10 games the Jets are 5-5, averaging 2.6 goals, 4.4 assists, three penalties and 7.4 penalty minutes while giving up 3 goals per game with an .886 save percentage.

Vancouver Canucks

The Canucks have lost 4 of their last 6 games and are 2-3-1 at home so far ranking 7th in the Pacific. They're coming from a tough game against the Buffalo Sabres on the road where they came up with the victory 5-4. Bo Horvat had a goal and two assists. The Canucks also got goals from Dakota Joshua, Ethan Bear, Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller in closing a five-game road trip. Pettersson added an assist, and backup goalie Spencer Martin made 28 saves.

Bo Horvat has scored 14 goals with 6 assists  and 20 points for the Canucks. Quinn Hughes leads the team with 14 assists.

In their last 10 games the Canucks are 5-5, averaging 4 goals, 4.9 assists, 6.5 penalties and 17.6 penalty minutes while giving up 3.96 goals per game.

 

BETTING TRENDS

Winnipeg are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games.

Winnipeg are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against Vancouver.

Winnipeg are 0-7 SU in their last 7 games on the road.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Winnipeg's last 5 games when playing on the road against Vancouver.

The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Vancouver's last 12 games.

Vancouver are 7-13 SU in their last 20 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Vancouver's last 10 games against Winnipeg.

Vancouver are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games at home.

 

Prediction

The Jets have dominated the Canucks this season as they beat them twice already and are playing good at home. The Canucks have been struggling offensively and aren't good on the road. I like the Jets to take care of business at home and cover the puck line.
