Winnipeg Jets vs St. Louis Blues Prediction
Winnipeg comes into this matchup trying to stay undefeated this season and they are allowing fewer than two goals per game through five games. St. Louis is above .500 to start the year, but they are scoring just 2.83 goals per game. The Blues have won two games in a row and the defense has allowed three total goals in those two victories, so I think we are in for a lower-scoring game. Take the under here.
