The St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets are set for a matchup tonight from MTS Centre in Canada. Puck-drop between the two sides is set for 8 p.m. EST.
The Blues come into this game struggling. They have lost four straight games overall and are just 4-6 over their last 10 contests. They have some ground to try and make up if they want to even put themselves into a place for a playoff run. Time is ticking on this time and they need to act fast. St. Louis is averaging 3.02 goals per game on average but the defense is giving up 3.60 goals to opponents on average. Going up against the Jets tonight, the Blues are going to need their defense to really step up. If they don’t, it could be another long night and loss for the Blues.
As for the Jets, they enter this game with a record of 31-19-1 on the season. However, they have lost three straight and are only 5-5 overall over their last ten games. Winnipeg has gone back and forth with sitting in first and second place throughout the season. They are in a good place for a playoff spot but need to finish the season strong if they want to make the race. The Jets are scoring 3.18 goals per game on average and are allowing only 2.65 goals to opponents on average. The defense has been the calling card for this Winnipeg squad and will need them to step up again tonight.
Prediction: Winnipeg Jets 3, St. Louis Blues 1
I like the Jets to win this game here and snap their losing streak. Give me the home team to defend home ice tonight.
