Wednesday's NHL Best Bets: Blues vs. Jets
(Odds courtesy of bet365)
Blues vs. Jets
After losing consecutive games to open the series, the Blues (2-2) bounced back and evened up their series against the Jets (2-2) with a pair of home wins. The series shifts back to the Great White North for Game 5. Tonight's game is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET from the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, MB.
This total is a bit of a head-scratcher to me. We just saw Connor Hellebuyck and this Winnipeg defense get lit up for 12 goals in two games in St. Louis, and now we have a total sitting at only 5.5 goals tonight. I'll ride with the over. Three of the four games have seen at least six goals, with an average of 6.5 goals per game.
St. Louis' four goals per game make them the highest-scoring team in the playoffs this season. They've gone 6-for-18 on the power play, which makes them the third-best team in that metric (33.33%).
The Blues are a legit threat offensively. They proved that to close out the regular season, ranking first in scoring (3.64 goals per game) over the final 20 games. Both offenses should find enough success to get us over this deflated total of 5.5 goals.
Bet: Over 5.5 Goals (+120)
