Utah Hockey Club picks and predictions for the Jets

Prediction

Jets 6, Utah Hockey Club 3

Money line

PASS.

The Jets (-190) are the clear favorites, a class above the Utah Hockey Club (+155). Expect a Winnipeg win, but go for the best odds and get them to the puck line.

Puck Line/Against the Gap

WINNIPEG BET -1.5 (+125).

The Jets enter Tuesday’s game as a statistically and analytically stronger team, holding key advantages over Utah in several areas. Offensively, Winnipeg ranks higher in goals scored per game, shots on goal, power play percentage and shot accuracy. The Jets are on a roll, winning by 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 games and they are undefeated in their last 7 games against Western Conference opponents.

The biggest gap between these teams is in defense and goaltending. Winnipeg ranks 5th in goals allowed per game, while Utah ranks 26th. Hellebuyck is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner and has a huge statistical advantage over Ingram.

Winnipeg also dominates analytically, with higher rankings in xGF/60, xGA/60 and expected goal differential per 60 minutes, making them a clear favorite.

More/Less

BET OVER 6 (-110).

The Jets have consistently been involved in high scoring games, with the Over scoring in 8 of their last 9 games and in 11 of their last 13 at home. Winnipeg’s offense has been clicking, scoring 5 or more goals in 4 of its last 5 outings. On the other hand, the Utah Hockey Club defense struggled, allowing 4 goals twice in the last 3 games. Despite starting to string, Hellebuyck has shown some cracks recently, which could open the door to more points. Look for a high total in this match.
