Dylan Samberg is always a consistent shot blocker, but he has put his body on the line even more frequently as Winnipeg has scratched and clawed to get in playoff contention.

My Jets vs. Golden Knights predictions and NHL picks expect Samberg to pile up the blocks against a Vegas team that has generated shot attempts at an extreme rate since making a coaching change.

Jets vs Golden Knights prediction

Jets vs Golden Knights best bet: Dylan Samberg Over 1.5 blocked shots (-150)

Dylan Samberg has blocked at least two shots in 15 of his past 19 games, averaging 2.2 along the way. He cleared his line in eight of nine matchups with playoff-bound teams during that stretch.

Samberg is in a terrific spot to pile up the blocks Monday night. The Vegas Golden Knights rank third in shot attempt rate — behind only Colorado and Carolina — since they hired John Tortorella, creating plenty of block opportunities.

Samberg is playing more than anybody on the Winnipeg Jets at 5-on-5 and on the penalty kill. He’ll see high usage in defensive situations, putting him in prime position to block shots.

Jets vs Golden Knights same-game parlay

Kyle Connor has generated 69 shot attempts over his past 10 games and recorded at least two shots on target each night. With their season on the line, the Jets will funnel as many pucks in his direction as they can.

We’ll round out the SGP with a bet on Connor to hit the score sheet. He has gone back-to-back games without a point, tying his longest drought of the entire year. With big minutes and plenty of shooting opportunities coming his way, I like his chances of getting back on track.
