Vegas Golden Knights vs. Winnipeg Jets Prediction, NHL Odds

The Vegas Golden Knights and Winnipeg Jets clash on Tuesday night in the NHL.

It has been a very challenging season for both teams so far in their own way. Vegas’ contending expectations have only resulted in 17 wins in 40 games and a five-game losing streak. Meanwhile, a usual playoff team in Winnipeg currently sits in dead last in the NHL standings with nine straight losses. The importance of these points cannot be understated, so we should be in for an elite Western Conference battle.

This game is listed as a pick’em on the NHL odds, with the total pegged at 6.0.

Golden Knights vs. Jets NHL Betting Odds

On the puckline this season, the Jets have gone 19-21, while the Golden Knights have been abysmal at 11-29. In the game totals, Vegas is 19-18-3 to the over, while Winnipeg is 22-18-0. Vegas has won 19 of its last 30 matchups overall.

Kyle Connor (+135) comes into this game with the shortest odds to score, while Jets teammate Mark Scheifele (+145) is close behind. Jack Eichel (+180) and Mark Stone (+220) have the best odds for the Golden Knights.

Vegas Golden Knights

The Vegas Golden Knights’ (17-11-12) inconsistency continues. They have now lost five straight games (0-3-2), and will be on the road for the third consecutive game. While they currently own the lead in the Pacific Division, the on-ice play of this team shows nothing of a division-winner.

Their ability to stay close in games (12 overtime losses) has saved them so far this season. However, this is not a useful formula, and they will need to change things before it is too late and they drop down the standings. Their losses to far weaker teams like the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators poses major concern.

Winnipeg Jets

The Winnipeg Jets (15-21-4) have had a very rough go this season. The team is on a nine-game losing streak (0-6-3), and is showing no signs of life. They hold a core that has been in the playoffs in four of the last five seasons, so this has been a major surprise.

They almost showed a resurgence when they stormed to a 4-1 lead on the road against the Toronto Maple Leafs, but their efforts eventually turned to a 6-5 loss in regulation. A disheartening 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators came two days later. Time is truly running out for this team, which is in Stanley Cup or bust territory.

NHL Prediction: Who Will Win Golden Knights vs. Jets?

Just yesterday, Winnipeg general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff hosted a press conference to discuss the major disappointment of the season so far. I think this will light a fire under the team and help them secure a win. Winnipeg is home for the first time since December 29, which should also add a boost as they look to give their fans a much-needed, excellent effort. I have the Winnipeg Jets winning this one 4-3.
