Bet: Blues Jets Under 5.5 goals (+100), Blues Under 2.5 goals (-135)

The Jets are returning home after a long road trip that saw them play nine of their last ten games away from their home barn. They finally return to Canada Life Centre and should have enough rest to come out swinging versus a Blues team that has struggled as of late.

The Jets have lost three straight games but the Blues have won juts six of their last 17 games and things could get worse for them. Winnipeg has a 12-1-1 record in their last 14 games against St. Louis with three or more goals allowed in just three of those games.

Jets netminder Connor Hellebuyck is looking to do something that hasn't been done in over a decade and win the Vezina trophy back-to-back years and will start in this matchup. He has an excellent history versus St. Louis with a 16-5-2 record and a goals against average of 2.03 in 23 career games.

This should be a bounce back game for the Jets as they closeout the Blues offence while working a few goals past Blues goalie Joel Hofer, who has a 3.23 goals against average this season.

Bet: Canucks Wild Over 5.5 goals (-110), Matt Boldy anytime goal (+175)

This could be the best game on the slate as the Canucks have still been dangerous but haven't hit that other gear while the Wild have and are third place in the league because of it with a 16-4-4 record. The biggest thing propelling the Wild has been their elite backend that has the best goals against average in the league at 2.33 through a quarter of the season.

When playing at home, Vancouver severely struggles on defence but when on the road they are one of the league's best teams with a 10-2-0 record and a 2.42 goals against average. The line for this game is very low and for good reason but we shouldn't forget about the prolific offensive weapons both teams have.

The Canucks have the fourth-best road offence in the league this season with a 3.67 goals per game average while the Wild have the 11th-best offence in the league with a 3.21 average that is in large part because of superstar Kirill Kaprizov. Minnesota's face of the franchise finds himself very much in the conversation for MVP this season after recording 15 goals and 23 assists for the league lead in points with 38 through 23 games.

Trust two exceptional offences will find a way to pierce through and make for an exciting high-scoring affair. Things should get started with the Wild's top line with Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy, who have a combined 17 goals since the start of November but Boldy has gone through a bit of a rough patch lately with just one goal over his last eight games. He should get back on track and keep Kaprizov red hot.

Bet: Sharks +1.5 (-105)

The Sharks have been far worse than the Capitals this season but San Jose has been stellar for betters as they've managed to keep games close for 18-9-0 which should make things interesting against a Washington team that is also elite against the spread with a 17-7-0 record.

The Sharks have covered in four straight games while the Capitals have covered in eight of their last nine games. The biggest underlying difference is that the sportsbooks have been doubting Washington with them being listed as an underdog for most of their covers but as a favourite they've covered in just one of their last five games. San Jose has also beat Washington in three of their last five matchups.
