My Jets analysis
Death, taxes, and the Winnipeg Jets beating up on the Minnesota Wild. They’ve had Minnesota’s number to an unbelievable extent in recent years, winning six straight meetings.

I like their chances of extending that streak to seven. Connor Hellebuyck will be back between the pipes following a night off in Nashville. He owns a 14-2 record and a sparkling .924 save percentage on the season.

He should be able to give the Jets the high-level goaltending they expect each time out. The injury to Kirill Kaprizov will only increase Hellebuyck’s chances of providing a quality start.

Minnesota’s superstar winger, who has 34 points through just 19 games, is the straw that stirs the drink offensively. His absence will serve as a heavy blow to a team already missing fourth-leading scorer Mats Zuccarello.

Simply put, the Jets are a very difficult team to score against. Minnesota playing them without two of the three top-scoring wingers on the roster is only going to make things harder. Conversely, the Jets lead the NHL in scoring and average more than 4.0 goals per game. This is a tough team for anybody to keep up with — even when the arsenal of weapons is stocked full.

Given the key pieces the Wild are expected to be without and that they have to contend with arguably the best goaltender in the sport, it’ll be hard for them to match the Jets offensively. The Jets have shown a great ability to respond in a hurry, following up two of their three prior defeats with six-goal outbursts in winning efforts.

I don’t expect that level of offense against a stingy Wild team, but there’s certainly reason to expect a bounceback performance.

Jets vs Wild Odds analysis

The market seems interested in buying Jets stock against a Wild team missing a couple of its top weapons. The Jets are now trading at -119 at Pinnacle, and that line could shift further as we move closer to puck drop.

Over backers are certainly proceeding with caution, understandably so. Hellebuyck vs. Filip Gustavsson is a terrific goaltending matchup, and we’ve already discussed how Minnesota’s injuries could hamper their offense. Only four of the past 10 head-to-head meetings have gone Over the number.

The Jets have closed as moneyline favorites in five straight against the Wild, winning each of them.
