Mark Scheifele is quietly having a superb season for the Winnipeg Jets. He has already set a new career high in assists and still has plenty of runway to widen the gap.

My Jets vs. Rangers predictions and NHL picks see Scheifele building on his totals against a New York team that's conceded 16 goals over the last three games.

Jets vs Rangers prediction

Jets vs Rangers best bet: Mark Scheifele Over 0.5 assists (-125)

Mark Scheifele is a terrific playmaker, leading the Winnipeg Jets with 52 assists through 69 games played.

He's produced consistently this season, but his numbers have seen a noticeable boost when facing Bottom-10 teams in limiting shots to forwards — like the New York Rangers.

Scheifele has averaged 0.9 assists per game against Bottom-10 teams in that category and picked up 10 over his last nine games. That includes a meeting against the Rangers, where Scheifele recorded a helper.

Scheifele has assisted in the second leg of a back-to-back five times in seven tries. Fatigue should not be an issue.

Jets vs Rangers same-game parlay

Kyle Connor has averaged 3.3 shots and cleared his line in 61% of his appearances against Bottom-16 shot suppression teams. He had five shots on goal against the Rangers earlier this month and has generated 3+ shots in six of his last seven vs. New York.

Given Connor’s consistently strong shot volume and knack for scoring goals, he’s a likely candidate to find the net if Scheifele gets his assist.
