Trends
Arizona is 4-0 in their last 4 games and 13-38 in their last 51 road games. The over is 3-1-2 in Arizona’s last 6 road games. Winnipeg is 4-10 in their last 14 games and 1-6 in their last 7 home games. The under is 28-11-4 in Winnipeg’s last 43 home games. Arizona is 6-21 in these two teams last 27 head to head meetings.
Pick
Arizona comes into this game on a four game winning streak and is playing some of their best hockey of the season. Winnipeg has lost three of their last four games and they have struggled over the last few weeks. The Jets are 21-12-2 at home this season and should be able to get a win against an Arizona team that is only 7-21-8 on the road. Winnipeg is the better team and they have played better in their last two games, despite getting shut out in their last game. I like the Jets to win this game by at least two goals.
