The Jets have virtually traded wins and losses this season, and their most recent win over St. Louis was a victory over the St. Louis Rams. The St. Louis team will surely be a boost to try to finish a three-game mini-tour that begins this Thursday with a positive record.
The 4-0 win over the Blues was the first whitewash of the season for a Winnipeg team that in each of its three losses has allowed at least four goals and in its three wins has conceded three or fewer goals .
Four different players scored on Monday night against the Blues, including Mark Scheifele, who with his fourth goal of the season serves as the team’s leader in the department. Connor Hellebuyck stopped 25 shots for his first shutout of the year and the 29th of his prestigious career.
After visiting the Kings on Thursday, the Jets travel to Arizona to face the Coyotes and close their western tour against the Golden Knights.
Betting on the Los Angeles Kings
- Regular Season record: 4-4-0
- BetMGM’s Puck line: (-1.5 / +170)
- Moneyline: (-145)
- Over/Under: 6
The return home from a five-game road trip was more than beneficial for the Kings after a solid win over a good Tampa Bay team. After a first half that ended even at one goal apiece, Los Angeles took control of the second half with two goals that gave them a lead they would never relinquish for the remainder of the game.
Another important fact for the Kings, in addition to leveling their record this season is that for the first time they have not conceded more than three goals in a game. Meanwhile, in goal Jonathan Quick had his strongest performance of the season, stopping 23 of 25 shots, including four power-play blanks.
JefeBet Prediction
In their last two games the Kings have shown signs of improvement in their defense, while the Jets have seen four of their five games this year go down to the wire.
In addition, the last five meetings between the two teams in Los Angeles have featured the Under, something that has also happened in nine of the last ten meetings between the two at any venue.
Prediction: Under (WIN 2 – LV 3).
