Mark Scheifele leads the Jets in scoring with 40 points including 13 goals and a team-high 27 assists while Nikolaj Ehlers and Kyle Connor each have 33 points with Ehlers logging 15 goals and 18 apples while Connor has a team-high 17 goals. Blake Wheeler has 30 points with 20 assists while Andrew Copp has 10 goals with 16 assists and Neal Pionk has 24 points with 21 assists. As a team, Winnipeg is averaging 3.3 goals on 29.7 shots with a 27.3% success rate on the PP while allowing 2.7 goals on 31.4 shots with a 79.3% success rate killing off penalties this season.
The Calgary Flames will look to keep on after their win over Winnipeg. Elias Lindholm leads the Flames in scoring with 30 points including 22 assists while Johnny Gaudreau has 26 points split between a team-high 13 goals and 13 assists and Matthew tkachuk’s on 26 points with 9 goals and 17 assists along with a team-high 104 shots on goal this season. Sean Monahan also has 22 points with 15 assists for the Flames on the year. As a team, Calgary is averaging 2.6 goals on 29.7 shots with a 19.8% success rate on the PP while giving up 3 goals a game on 30 shots with an 80.2% kill rate on the PK this season.
Winnipeg is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record and 4-1 in their last 5 games played on 1 days’ rest while the under is 2-0-2 in their last 4 games as an underdog. Calgary is 1-4 in their last 5 games overall and 2-7 in their last 9 games following a win while the under is 4-0-1 in their last 5 games overall. The under is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams.
I get the case that could be made for either side here, but I’m going to back the under here. I think as much depth and talent as there is on both sides, this one is going to be all about the goaltending and I wouldn’t be surprised with a 3-2 or 2-1 game here. Give me the under in this one.
