Winnipeg Jets Odds
Winnipeg are already talking about getting back into the playoffs next term, so carrying a bit of momentum into the off-season would be nice.
“We’re not going to run and hide from this,” said interim head coach Dave Lowry. “We know that we’re going to have to be better.
“The biggest thing is it has to start within – and it has to start with self-reflection and individuals taking ownership of where we are.”
Defenseman Neal Pionk added: “I think if everyone goes into the summer and does that self-evaluation and we all come back, it’ll be a lot better.
“We have a heck of a roster. We have world-class players. Come in with a different mindset, a better attitude, and get started off on the right foot.”
Beating the Stanley Cup favourites 4-1 at this venue was certainly a big boost, with all the goals coming in the third period.
Late goals have been a recurring theme in Winnipeg matches this term, so 2.35 for the final stanza to produce the most scores again here appeals from the NHL odds.
Philadelphia Flyers Odds
Philadelphia ended a six-match losing run with wins over Montreal and Pittsburgh but were brought back down to earth with a 3-1 loss at Chicago.
Flyers coach Mike Yeo admitted: “We just didn’t play well enough, that’s what it comes down to.
“There’s parts of our game where we were doing OK, but we weren’t good enough with the puck against a team that transitions really well.”
Travis Konecny had an assist to extend his point streak to six games, so 1.75 for him to register another here will attract support.
However, we’re sticking with the Jets to win by exactly two goals at 6.75 to complete our NHL predictions.
