Jets vs Utah Hockey Club prediction
My Jets pick: Jets moneyline (-113 at Pinnacle)
My Jets analysis
The Winnipeg Jets have been one of the best teams in the league all season long as they look to secure the top spot in the Central Division, if not the Presidents’ Trophy.
They got a big win on Thursday night in Vegas against the Golden Knights with Eric Comrie in net, so Vezina Trophy favorite Connor Hellebuyck should be nice and rested for tonight’s matchup.
It’s a bit surprising the Jets are barely favored tonight in Utah. The Hockey Club have lost four of their last six games, with those two wins coming against the Blackhawks and Flames. On Thursday night in Utah, they lost 4-2 to the Kings to fall to 16-15-7 on home ice.
The Jets have been nearly as good on the road (24-14-0) as they have at home (28-6-4) this season. They've also won four of five, eight of 11, and are 10-4-0 in the last month since March 6.
It’s rare to see Winnipeg as a low favorite against a non-playoff team like Utah. The Jets are 43-13 as favorites this season, including 18-5 on the road, while Utah is 12-27 as the underdog, including 3-11 at home.
Jets vs Utah Hockey Club odds analysis
The Jets odds actually opened much higher around -150, but they’ve been bet down to nearly a pick’em as of Saturday afternoon. There hasn’t been any goalie news yet, but even Comrie starting shouldn’t move this line 30 to 40 cents.
Perhaps bettors are wary of Nikolaj Ehlers' status as a game-time decision due to a lower-body injury. Nevertheless, the Jets are the play here even if they’re a bit shorthanded.
The total hasn't seen too much movement as it's still at 5.5, but the Under is now slightly favored after opening around -110. Both of these teams trend to the Under this season so that makes a bit of sense, especially with Winnipeg coming off a dominant performance in Vegas.
