My top Jets vs. Canadiens predictions and NHL picks are calling for Montreal winger Cole Caufield to have a bounce-back night in the shots column.
Jets vs Canadiens prediction
Jets vs Canadiens Best bet: Cole Caufield Over 2.5 shots on goal (-130)
Montreal Canadiens winger Cole Caufield has been limited to just four shots on 11 attempts through his past three games after recording three or more in each of his prior five contests.
There’s been a big dip in his attempts per 60 minutes (12.49), in addition to converting just 36.4% of those attempts into shots.
Caufield recorded 23.03 attempts per 60 with 55.8% of those registering as shots during the highlighted five-game stretch.
Tonight's game is a bounce-back spot statistically for the go-to winger.
The Winnipeg Jets rank 29th in both Corsi For percentage (45.9) and shot share (45.2%) at 5-on-5 for the season, and they’re also reeling along a 4-9 skid.
Of course, Caufield has also posted a solid 52.1 CF% and 53.7% shot share at 5-on-5 while ranking in the 90th percentile of forwards in shots on goal for the season.
