The Vegas Golden Knights and the Winnipeg Jets meet in NHL action from the Canada Life Arena on Monday night. Let’s dive into the odds, matchup history and make a prediction for this game.
Odds
Vegas is a -115 road favorite while Winnipeg is a -105 home underdog. The total for this game is set at 6 goals.
Matchup History
Vegas’ 5-4 OT win back in game three on Saturday made it back-to-back wins for the Golden Knights and five wins in the last six meetings for Vegas in this head-to-head matchup.
Trends
Vegas is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall and 10-3 in their last 13 road games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 conference quarterfinal games. Winnipeg is 5-2 in their last 7 home games and 2-5 in their last 7 games against the Pacific division while the under is 38-15-4 in their last 57 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. The goaltending on both sides has been fairly questionable to this point in the series at one point or another, and I just see this as another high-scoring game that could very well need OT once again. This has the makings of a 4-3 or 5-4 kind of game how I see it, so give me the over.
