Jets Looking To Stop Streak Against Struggling Senators

The Winnipeg Jets travel to Ottawa to face the Senators on Sunday in what almost amounts to a must-win game. Winnipeg still has a chance to reach the playoffs, but Ottawa will look to play the spoiler role.

The Jets enter Sunday with 77 points, and that has them in 10th place in the Western Conference. Winnipeg still has time to turn things around, but it’s going to have to start with a win in this game.

Let’s check the latest NHL lines, stats, injury reports, and NHL odds for Jets vs Senators. We’ve plenty of NHL picks and predictions.

Jets Can’t Get Any Stops

If the Winnipeg Jets are going to find a way to reach the postseason, then they have to be better on the defensive end of the ice. Winnipeg is allowing 3.07 goals per game, and they are averaging less than that on the offensive end.

The penalty kill has been an issue for Winnipeg, but so too has the play of goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. Winnipeg has killed off just 75% of its penalties, and Hellebuyck has posted a record that is right around the .500 mark.

Blake Wheeler and Kyle Connor give the Jets a terrific 1-2 punch on the offensive end of the ice. Wheeler has a team-high 42 assists, and Connor leads the way with 41 goals and 82 total points.

Senators Struggling To Score Goals

Ottawa coach D.J. Smith has actually been happy with the way his team has played, except in the most recent game. After a blowout loss to the Rangers, Smith said, “There was just not enough of what we usually have.”

The Senators are scoring just 2.7 goals per game this season, and they are allowing 3.2 goals. Ottawa has been solid on the power play, but there just hasn’t been enough offense when it’s even strength.

Goaltender Anton Forsberg has really struggled in the blue paint this season, and the Senators need someone to step up on Sunday. Ottawa can’t afford to get into a high-scoring game with the Jets because they will fall short.

Jets vs Senators Head-to-Head

This is the second meeting of the NHL season between the Winnipeg Jets and Ottawa Senators. Ottawa actually won the first meeting by a score of 5-2 and will be looking for a similar performance on home ice.

Winnipeg Jets vs Ottawa Senators Prediction

A quick look at the most recent scores and odds would probably scare you off of betting on Winnipeg, but this team is too good to keep losing. Ottawa has not been a solid team all season long, and it’s hard to see them getting enough stops in this game.

There are so many solid offensive performers on the ice for the Jets that they are going to break through at some point. It’s been a rough go for Winnipeg of late, but this will be a game that they control from the early going.

Forget about the moneyline in this game and focus on the puck line as the Jets take control. Head to BetUS Sportsbook and take the Winnipeg Jets -1.5 as they end the losing streak and cruise to a big win.

Pick: Winnipeg Jets -1 ½ (+135)
