My Islanders vs. Jets predictions and NHL picks expect enough offense at the Canada Life Centre to push this Over the total on Tuesday, January 13.
Islanders vs Jets prediction
Islanders vs Jets best bet: Over 5.5 (-115)
The Winnipeg Jets' nosedive to the bottom of the league standings mercifully came to an end with a win over LA, snapping that brutal 11-game losing skid. They then followed that up with a win over New Jersey.
Winnipeg hasn’t won three straight since the end of October, but it would go a long way to get them back into the Wild Card picture, as they trail the final spot by nine points, with six teams in front of them.
They might be catching the New York Islanders at just the right time. New York will be playing its third game of a mammoth seventh-game road trip, and it's gone to OT in three of their last four contests.
While the Isles have a 9-0 win over the Devils and a 2-1 SO win over Nashville, they’ve allowed at least three goals in three of their last five games, including seven in a blowout loss to Utah.
The Jets have scored at least 4+ goals in back-to-back wins, and they’re flirting with a Bottom-10 goals against figure, tied at 14th at 3.11. They’ve also cashed the Over in five of their last six starts, all five of those games with a 5.5 total.
Despite ranking lower than the Jets in goals for (2.89), New York has cashed the Over in five of its last seven, and the teams have topped the total in four of five.
