The Winnipeg Jets and Vegas Golden Knights meet Thursday in game 5 of the NHL West First Round Playoffs at the T-Mobile Arena. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Winnipeg Jets are averaging 3.25 goals per game and are scoring on 41.7 percent of their power play opportunities. Adam Lowry leads Winnipeg with 4 goals, Neal Pionk has 7 assists and Kyle Connor has 24 shots on goal. Defensively, the Winnipeg Jets are allowing 3.75 goals per game and are killing 85.7 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Connor Hellebuyck has given up 14 goals on 133 shots faced.

The Vegas Golden Knights are averaging 3.75 goals per game and are scoring on 14.3 percent of their power play opportunities. William Karlsson leads Vegas with 3 goals, Chandler Stephenson has 4 assists and Jack Eichel has 16 shots on goal. Defensively, the Vegas Golden Knights are allowing 3.25 goals per game and are killing 58.3 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Laurent Brossoit has given up 12 goals on 123 shots faced.

The Jets are 1-5 in their last 6 Conference Quarterfinals games and 1-4 in their last 5 overall. The Golden Knights are 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 19-7 in their last 26 overall. The under is 38-16-4 in Jets last 58 overall. The over is 4-0 in Golden Knights last 4 overall. The Jets are 1-6 in the last 7 meetings. The road team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

The Winnipeg Jets are getting lite on fire defensively in this series, and It’s hard to expect things to change on the road, where Vegas is usually is safe bet. The Vegas Golden Knights have been way too comfortable over these last 3 games, scoring a combined 14 goals, and they’ll advance to the next round if that sort of production continues. The line is more than reasonable. Give me Vegas to end this series.
