Blues vs Jets NHL Betting Analysis
Winnipeg is a decent team. But they have disadvantages in this matchup. First, they rank 30th in penalty kills. The Jets kill penalties at 73.9%. That’s bad news against the St. Louis Blues because the Blues have a 22.3% power-play percentage. That ranks 9th in NHL.
The second problem for Winnipeg is their home record. The Jets perform much better on the road than they do at home. Winnipeg is 11-6-1 away. They’re 10-8-0-1 at home. Those two things, not to mention they face the best team in NHL on Dec. 27, makes the Jets a bad play. Go with the St. Louis Blues.
