Analysis of my Jets

THE Winnipeg Jets has the best record in the NHL, the result of an offense that is running at full throttle. This season, Winnipeg ranks in the top 2 in the league in goals scored per game, shots on goal per game, power play percentage and shooting percentage.

Leading the way is the star ahead Kyle Connorwho scored eight goals in the first nine games. It’s been pretty much automatic, and it’s worth supporting this trend to continue Wednesday night.

Not only does Connor skate on the top line alongside Mark Scheifele and Gabriel Vilardi, but he also serves as the primary trigger on the first power play unit. It was on special teams that Connor particularly thrived, scoring half of his goals from the man advantage.

This is the main reason why I am aiming for him to score once again in this match against Detroit Red Wingsgiven that they rank in the bottom half of the league in terms of penalty minutes taken per game and penalty percentage. Connor has scored seven goals in the last nine meetings between these two clubs.

Supporting Detroit is goalkeeper Alex Lyon, who is confirmed to start in front of the post on Wednesday. After a great start to the campaign, Lyon conceded four goals against the Buffalo Sabres, which should be the start of the expected regression.

Over/Under Analysis Jets vs Red Wings

Winnipeg started as a -135 favorite and has since been betting as high as -140. This line move makes sense, considering it outperforms Detroit in expected goal differential per 60 minutes.

The total opened at 6 and remains at that number Wednesday morning. I don’t think we’ll see much movement from that total, given that both offenses are solid but face capable guards like Connor Hellebuyck and Alex Lyon.
