Jets vs Ducks prediction

My Jets pick: Jets -1.5 (-111 at Pinnacle)

My Jets analysis
The Winnipeg Jets have clinched the Presidents' Trophy and have one final matchup against the Anaheim Ducks tonight at Canada Life Centre before moving their focus to the playoffs.

The Jets have had a few days off after a back-to-back over the weekend and host a Ducks team on a back-to-back themselves to close out the regular season.

The Ducks have been a feisty team in the second half of the season, but they've come back down to Earth recently. They've lost three straight and five of their last seven games since April 3.

Anaheim is just 3-9 in the second game of a back-to-back situation this season, while Winnipeg is 53-20 after a day off. Furthermore, it's expected to be Ville Husso for Anaheim against Vezina Trophy favorite Connor Hellebuyck for the home side tonight. The Jets are massive favorites on the moneyline, so I'm turning to the puck line at -1.5.

Four of the last five losses for the Ducks came by 2+ goals, including a 6-1 defeat in Los Angeles after playing the night before. Winnipeg has also been winning games by a margin, with five of its last six victories by at least two goals.

Jets vs Ducks odds analysis

The Jets opened at a lower price but have climbed up with Connor Hellebuyck starting and the Ducks on a back-to-back. The Jets are up to -298 favorites with the Ducks at +258 as of Wednesday afternoon.

The total is set at a flat 6 with the Under 6 slightly favored at -111 and Over 6 at -101 at Pinnacle. There shouldn’t be any unexpected goalie news, so I’d be surprised if this moves much at all.
