The Winnipeg Jets and the Montreal Canadiens meet in NHL action from the Bell Centre on Saturday night.

The Winnipeg Jets will look to build on a 4-3 overtime win over Montreal in their last outing. Mark Scheifele leads the Jets in scoring with 32 points including 11 goals and 21 assists while Blake Wheeler has 23 points with 7 goals and 17 assists. Nikolaj Ehlers and Kyle Connor each have 23 points with 11 goals and 12 assists while Neal Pionk has 17 points with 3 goals and 14 helpers. Andrew Copp has 15 points with 4 goals and 11 assists while Paul Stastny has 14 points split between 7 goals and 7 assists and Adam Lowry and Mason Appleton each have 12 points this year. Connor Hellebuyck continues to see the majority of action in goal for Winnipeg, picking up 11 wins with a 2.60 GAA in 18 appearances.

The Montreal Canadiens will try to bounce back and grab a win after yet another loss to the Jets last time out. Jeff Petry leads the Habs in scoring with 21 points on 7 goals and 14 assists while Tyler Toffoli has 19 points with 14 goals and 5 helpers. Nick Suzuki has 16 points with 5 goals and 11 assists and Jonathan Drouin’s got 15 points with 13 of those being assists. Brendan Gallagher has 13 points with 8 goals and 5 assists while Tomas Tatar and Josh Anderson each have 12 points on the year. Carey Price has started the bigger chunk of games for Montreal with 6 wins and a 2.96 GAA over 13 appearances while Jake Allen’s had 9 appearances with a 2.31 GAA and 4 wins on the year.

Winnipeg is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall and 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win while the under is 5-1-1 in their last 7 Saturday games. Montreal is 1-6 in their last 7 games overall and 1-5 in their last 6 home games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games as a home favorite. Winnipeg is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these two teams.

Am I missing something again? Didn’t this just happen a couple of nights ago? Where the Canadiens were favored simply because they’re due to bounce back out of this slump they’re in and what happened? The Jets walked out with another win over Montreal. Well, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Give md Winnipeg and the plus money until the books figure out that Montreal is in a total freefall right now and that simply backing Montreal because they’re “due” will burn a hole in your pocket, kind of like what I expect here. I’ll take Winnipeg and the plus money in this spot.
