Pittsburgh, the host, is slightly favored on our NHL betting odds at -115. But since it’s a low total of just 5½, this is almost a toss-up. Both teams are ranked in the top 10 in goals allowed, with Winnipeg ranking first with just 2.3 goals allowed per game. That’s why totals trend ‘under’ with these teams, notably seven of Winnipeg’s last eight games on the road.

Jets vs Penguins Over/Under Pick: Under 5½ (+105)

Seeing a total of 5½ is rare. Winnipeg’s totals have gone under five of the seven times it had a 5½ total while this is Pittsburgh’s first time. The totals have gone under in three of Pittsburgh’s last four games with a total of just six goals. In short, even with low totals, these teams still manage to go ‘under’.

Winnipeg holds teams to just over 24 scoring chances on 5-on-5, while Pittsburgh gives up around 27. That’s around 51 scoring chances on both sides. And while both teams have mediocre penalty-killing stats, neither is great on the power play either.

The Jets’ goalies also stop 92.5% of the shots they face, which lends to the NHL lines’ low total. Pittsburgh also tends to be limited on offense, having scored more than three goals just six times at home. It won’t do that against Winnipeg, so bet the ‘under.’

Jets vs Penguins Moneyline Pick: Jets (-105)

While Winnipeg could face some slight chemistry issues due to the lineup shuffle, it holds an edge in goal. The Penguins’ goalies play well against Winnipeg but have unsustainable stats and are more inconsistent overall. Thus, the Jets are the proper NHL pick today with a bit of a discounted line.

Jets vs Penguins Player Prop Pick: Nino Niederreiter Over ½ Points (+146)

While the Jets’ top six lines could struggle early, it falls on the bottom six to carry the load. Winnipeg’s success has partly been due to guys like Niederreiter who are producing on the road. He’s worth betting online here.
