Preview
The Winnipeg Jets continue on the road and will visit the Montreal Canadiens to play the only hockey game of the day on Monday night. This is the second time these teams face off this season, the Jets won the last game 8-4 in Winnipeg.
Winnipeg Jets
The Jets have lost 4 of their last 5 games and are 15-21 on the road with a 34-28-11 record overall ranking 6th in the Central Division. Winnipeg averages 9.1 penalty minutes per game, the sixth-most in the Western Conference. Pierre-Luc Dubois leads the team serving 100 total minutes.
Nikolaj Ehlers leads the Jets with a plus-14 in 53 games this season. Scheifele has six goals and nine assists over the last 10 games for Winnipeg.
In their last 10 games the Bruins are 5-5, averaging 2.8 goals, five assists, 3.4 penalties and 8.9 penalty minutes while giving up 2.9 goals per game with a .919 save percentage.
Montreal Canadiens
The Canadiens have lost 3 of their last 5 games and are only 10-24 at home this season, with a 20-41-11 record overall ranking 8th in the Atlantic Division and already eliminated of the playoffs contention. Montreal averages 10.3 penalty minutes per game, the second-most in the Eastern Conference. Michael Pezzetta leads the team serving 70 total minutes.
Nick Suzuki leads the Canadiens with 35 assists and has 54 points this season. Cole Caufield has five goals over the last 10 games for Montreal.
In their last 10 games the Canadiens are 3-7, averaging 3.1 goals, 5.1 assists, 4.3 penalties and 11 penalty minutes while giving up 3.6 goals per game with a .912 save percentage.
BETTING TRENDS
Winnipeg are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games against Montreal.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Winnipeg's last 6 games on the road.
The total has gone OVER in 9 of Montreal's last 12 games against Winnipeg.
Montreal are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games at home.
Prediction
The Canadiens are already eliminated so they have nothing to play for on this game but they're also playing without any pressure so that makes them dangerous. The Jets have struggled against the Canadiens losing 5 of the last 6 head to head games so it's hard to trust them to win this game on the road. Last time these two faced the game ended with 12 goals and with the over cashing big time for these teams I think that's the play here.
PICK: Over 6.5 (-110)
