  • The Winnipeg Jets host the Minnesota Wild tonight at the MTS Centre to kick off their playoff series. The Jets finished with the second-best record in the West and are red-hot going into the postseason, winning 11 of their last 12 games. The Wild, on the other hand, have struggled on the road at 3-7 SU in their last 10 away games and opened as +185 dogs to steal a win in the ’Peg.

    SHARK BITES
    • The Wild are 1-4 SU in their last five games vs the Jets.
    • The Jets are 14-3 SU in their last 17 games against their division at home.
    • The Wild are 6-22 SU in their last 28 games in the playoffs on the road.

    The MTS Centre will be rocking tonight as it’s the Jets’ second time making the postseason since returning to Winnipeg back in 2011 and they finished with the best home record in the NHL this season at 32-9 SU. The Jets offense has been electric this season, averaging 3.3 goals per game overall while that figure increased to 3.8 goals at home. Five players notched more than 20 goals this season with sophomore Patrik Laine stealing the show by scoring 44 goals.

    All eyes will be on Connor Hellebuyck, who will be making his first postseason start in net for the Jets. Hellebuyck has won his last nine starts going into the playoffs, only allowing 2.44 goals per game in that stretch, and it shouldn’t be looked at as a coincidence that the Jets allowed only 2.4 goals per game at home this season.

    On the flip side, the Wild were a mixed bag coming into the playoffs at 3-5 SU in their last eight and now have to try to stymie a high-powered offense without their leader on the blue line. Defenseman Ryan Suter was ruled out for the postseason after suffering a fractured ankle, which could be a dagger in the heart for Minnesota. The Wild may be in fade territory as they have not played well in Winnipeg, dropping six of their last eight games at the MTS Centre, and have lost 10 of their last 12 games on the road vs divisional teams.

    The total opened at 5.5 and the OVER could be the profitable option in this one. Winnipeg’s scoring prowess has been noted and the OVER has hit in 10 of the Jets’ last 14 games at MTS Centre. The total has also gone OVER in five of the last seven games in this matchup with an average combined score of 7.1 goals.

    Sportsbook Odds & Computer Pick

    The visiting Minnesota Wild opened as +130 moneyline underdogs in this one at most online sportsbooks tracked at OddsShark, including Sportsbook. The total opened at 6 for those preferring OVER/UNDER betting; watch for the line updates during the day at Sportsbook.
