The Winnipeg Jets host the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday evening at the Canada Life Centre and the NHL odds have Winnipeg as a -204 favorite.
Possessing the best record in hockey, the Jets are 11-1 through their first 12 games, and my Jets vs. Utah predictions believe that this strong start will continue in this matchup.
Read on for my NHL picks for Tuesday, November 5.
Jets vs Hockey Club prediction
My Jets pick
Jets -1.5 (+127 at Pinnacle)
My Jets analysis
After successfully cashing on the Winnipeg Jets’ puck line on Sunday in their 7-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, we are going back to the well once again. I don’t have interest in laying over two dollars on the moneyline, but I believe there is value in their puck line at +127 via Pinnacle.
Each of Winnipeg’s past four wins have come by two or more goals, and it possesses every advantage across the board in this matchup. The Jets are far deeper than the Utah Hockey Club, a gap that has demonstrated itself in the offensive production of each team.
Winnipeg ranks higher than Utah in goals scored per game, shots on goal per game, power play percentage, and shooting percentage. An even bigger gap between these two teams is the blue-line play, given that the Jets rank fifth in goals allowed per game while the Hockey Club ranks 26th.
Another variable of that discrepancy is goaltending, which is yet another edge for Winnipeg. Reigning Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck is slated to guard the cage on Tuesday, and he is 8-1 with a .917 SV% and 2.33 GAA.
Connor Ingram projects to get the draw across the ice, and he carries a far less dominating .881 SV% and 3.57 GAA. Not only are the Jets statistically stronger across the board, but they are also better analytically.
Winnipeg ranks higher than Utah in xGF/60, xGA/60, and expected goal differential per 60 minutes. Finally, the Jets also boast a home-ice advantage, where they carry an 83.3% win percentage against the Hockey Club’s 33.3% road win percentage.
