It’s put up or shut up time for the Winnipeg Jets, and the reigning Presidents’ Trophy winners are outside the playoff picture and in dire need of a win over the visiting Boston Bruins at the Canada Life Centre tonight.
My Bruins vs. Jets predictions and NHL picks are turning to Winnipeg No. 1 defense Josh Morrissey tonight.
Bruins vs Jets prediction
Bruins vs Jets Best bet: Josh Morrissey Over 1.5 shots on goal (-140)
The Winnipeg Jets need a sparkplug, and No. 1 defenseman Josh Morrissey is positioned to continue building on his recent uptick in shots with a favorable matchup against the Boston Bruins on Thursday.
Winnipeg is at a fork in the road and reeling along a miserable 5-11-1 stretch, while No. 1 goalie Connor Hellebuyck (knee) remains out indefinitely. Remember, the Jets won the Presidents’ Trophy last year, so sitting outside the playoff picture is a clear indication the season hasn't started as planned.
Returning to Morrissey, he’s a top defenseman in the league and logs monster minutes with an average of 24:35 per night, including 3:08 quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play unit.
He’s also racked up 10 shots on 19 attempts across his past four games and recorded 2+ shots in three of those four.
With the Bruins averaging the most shorthanded ice time per game and heading to Winnipeg below the breakeven mark in both Corsi For percentage and shot share at 5-on-5 while also allowing the fourth-most shots per game, I’m anticipating Morrisey to make it four of five games with 2+ shots tonight.
Finally, it warrants mention that this -140 price from BET99 is an industry best.

Despite the highlighted Boston shortcomings, the Bruins have allowed just four goals across their past three games, and the Jets have been anything but an offensive force with an average of 2.47 goals per game during the noted slump.
Meanwhile, Winnipeg center Mark Scheifele had a five-game assist streak snapped last time out when he scored twice against the Stars on Tuesday. Look for the go-to star to return to the assist column on Thursday.
