BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Winnipeg's last 8 games.
Winnipeg are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games.
Winnipeg are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games against Edmonton.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Winnipeg's last 5 games on the road.
The total has gone OVER in 7 of Edmonton's last 8 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Edmonton's last 5 games at home.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Edmonton's last 6 games when playing at home against Winnipeg.
Prediction
The Oilers have been good lately and just scored 7 goals in their last game against the Kraken but they have struggled at home with a 9-9-1 record. The Jets continue to play great defensively allowing 2.6 goals per game and are 5-2 in their last 7 games against the Jets. This should be a close game and with both teams playing good defense in their last games I think the under is the play.
