My Jets analysis

After successfully collecting the puck from the Winnipeg Jets in their 7-4 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday, we go back to the well. I have no interest in putting more than two dollars on the money line, but I do believe their puck line has value at +127 over Pinnacle.

Each of Winnipeg's last four wins have come by two goals or more, and Winnipeg has all the advantages across the board in this matchup. The Jets are far deeper than the Utah Hockey Club, a gap that has been evident in both teams' offensive production.

Winnipeg ranks higher than Utah in goals scored per game, shots on goal per game, power play percentage and shooting percentage. An even bigger gap between these two teams is blue line play, as the Jets rank fifth in goals allowed per game while the Hockey Club ranks 26th.

Another variable in this discrepancy is goaltending, which is another advantage for Winnipeg. Reigning Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck is scheduled to guard the cage on Tuesday, and he is 8-1 with a .917 SV% and a 2.33 GAA.

Connor Ingram thrives on getting the draw down the ice, and he has a far less dominant SV% of .881 and a GAA of 3.57. The Jets are not only stronger statistically, but also better analytically.

Winnipeg ranks higher than Utah in xGF/60, xGA/60 and expected goal difference per 60 minutes. Finally, the Jets also have a home advantage as they have a win rate of 83.3% compared to the hockey club's away win rate of 33.3%.

Jets vs. Hockey Club Over/Under Analysis

The Winnipeg Jets have the best record in the NHL and are legitimate favorites in this contest against the Utah Hockey Club. Winnipeg opened as a favorite at -204 and remains steady at that price.

Since these two teams are both in the top half of the league in goals scored per game, that total is 6 and is more likely to move towards 6.5 rather than in the opposite direction.
