St. Louis is a home favorite, laying 1.5 goals Friday night. Winnipeg, who won the President’s Trophy this season for most regular-season points, is 9-8 overall as underdogs.

Winnipeg is now 43-44 against the spread this season, while St. Louis is 50-37. Both teams have been good under bets this season. St. Louis is 40-42-5 over/under, while Winnipeg is 37-47-3 over/under. So of course, four of the five games in this series have hit the over (gotta love it).

Winnipeg is getting some love from the sportsbooks. They’re +100 on the moneyline at Caesars, DraftKings and BetMGM. The best moneyline bet on the Blues Friday is -118 at FanDuel.

Jets vs Blues Prediction

• Jets ML (+100)

I’m predicting the Jets come through based on the fact that Winnipeg has only lost three of four games this season, three different times. The last time was almost two months ago. That shows a level of consistency that is remarkable.

Winnipeg is a different team with standout defenseman Dylan DeMelo on the ice. He missed all of Game 3 with an illness and was not 100 percent in Game 4. However, there is bad injury news for Winnipeg: first-line center Mark Scheifele is out after suffering a bad hit in Game 5. It might be a long-term thing.

St. Louis was the hottest team in the NHL at the end of the regular season, winning 13 of their last 16 games to get in. Pavel Buchnevich has three goals in the series for the Blues.

The biggest issue for Winnipeg this series has been the sudden dropoff in play by star goalie Connor Hellebuyck. He led the NHL in goals against this season at 2.00, but this series has been a nightmare for him. He’s allowed 18 goals and his save percentage is .822. Shocking.

Jets vs Blues Player Props

I have a few player props I’m watching for Game 6 between the Jets and Blues.

Cam Fowler over 0.5 points (-115 at DraftKings)

Fowler already has eight assists this series and has at least one assist in each of the Blues’ last seven home games. I figure he’s good for at least one more point tonight and am tempted to go over 1.5 at better odds.

Kyle Connor anytime goal (+135 at DraftKings)

With no Scheifele, the Jets are going to need to get offense from someone. Connor has scored four goals this series and has a goal in five of the Jets last six playoff games.

Connor Hellebuyck under 22.5 saves (-135 at DraftKings)

As I already talked about, this has been a brutal series for Hellebuyck, but I like this under total for two reasons, one, as the playoffs have gone on, the number of shots decrease for both teams (defenders block more shots). Two, if Hellebuyck really struggles early, don’t be surprised if the Jets pull him.

The Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues are set to face off in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series on May 2nd, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. With the series tied at 2-2, both teams will be looking to secure a crucial victory and advance to the next round.

In terms of predictions, this game is shaping up to be a close one. The Jets have shown flashes of brilliance throughout the series, but the Blues have proven to be a tough opponent. With both teams evenly matched, it’s anyone’s guess as to who will come out on top in Game 6.

As for the odds, the sportsbooks have the Blues listed as slight favorites to win Game 6. However, with the way the series has gone so far, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Jets pull off an upset and come out on top.

When it comes to player props, there are a few key players to keep an eye on in this game. For the Jets, look for Patrik Laine to continue his strong play and make an impact on the offensive end. On the Blues side, Vladimir Tarasenko has been a force to be reckoned with and will likely be a key player in Game 6.

Overall, Game 6 between the Jets and Blues is shaping up to be a thrilling matchup with plenty of excitement and drama. With both teams fighting for their playoff lives, fans can expect a hard-fought battle that could come down to the wire. Be sure to tune in on May 2nd to see who comes out on top in this pivotal game.
