The Winnipeg Jets and Vancouver Canucks meet Sunday in NHL action at the Rogers Arena.
The Winnipeg Jets look for a win after splitting their last 12 games. The Winnipeg Jets are averaging 3.4 goals per game and are scoring on 22.2 percent of their power play opportunities. Nikolaj Ehlers leads Winnipeg with 10 goals, Mark Scheifele has 14 assists and Kyle Connor has 46 shots on goal. Defensively, the Winnipeg Jets are allowing 2.6 goals per game and are killing 80.9 percent of their opponents power plays. Connor Hellebuyck has given up 34 goals on 404 shots faced and Laurent Brossoit has given up nine goals on 139 shots.
The Vancouver Canucks need a win after losing eight of their last 10 games. The Vancouver Canucks are averaging 2.9 goals per game and are scoring on 16.7 percent of their power play opportunities. Brock Boeser leads Vancouver with 12 goals, Quinn Hughes has 18 assists and Elias Pettersson has 50 shots on goal. Defensively, the Vancouver Canucks are allowing 3.5 goals per game and are killing 82.7 percent of their opponents power plays. Braden Holtby has given up 31 goals on 297 shots faced while Thatcher Demko has given up 39 goals on 393 shots.
The Jets are 2-5 in their last 7 Sunday games and 7-3 in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest. The Canucks are 0-8 in their last 8 Sunday games and 2-8 in their last 10 overall. The under is 6-1-1 in Jets last 8 overall. The under is 5-1-1 in Canucks last 7 overall. The Jets are 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in Vancouver and 16-5 in the last 21 meetings.
The Winnipeg Jets have had issues stringing together wins this season, but there's no doubt they've been the better team this season and they've absolutely owned the Canucks over the years. The Vancouver Canucks can't get out of their own way mainly due to defensive issues, and they were just shutout by the Jets in Friday's loss. No matter what you think of the Jets, you're getting a cheap price to fade the ice cold Canucks. I'll take it.
