St Louis Blues at Winnipeg Jets Preview & Picks

Winnipeg are backed to take a 2-0 lead in this playoff series.

The Jets' series-opening win over St Louis continued their recent dominance of the Blues, and given their overall form since the start of the season we expect that trend to continue.

  • Winnipeg Jets won a league-high 56 games in the regular season
  • Winnipeg Jets are 31-7-4 at home so far this season
  • Winnipeg Jets are 9-2 in the previous 11 meetings with St Louis
  • The Under cashed in 3 of the 4 regular season meetings

Head To Head

  • Winnipeg Jets lead the all-time series 36-25-7
  • Winnipeg Jets won 5-3 when the two teams last met on April 19

St Louis Blues Form

St Louis secured their place in the playoffs by putting together a 44-30-8 record to finish fifth in the Central Division.

The Blues enjoyed a great run between the middle of March and early April as they went on a season best 12-game win streak to surge into the postseason picture.

That run cooled off with a three-game losing sequence, which began with a 3-1 loss when they visited playoff opponents Winnipeg.

St Louis then moved on to Edmonton to lose 4-3 to the Oilers, before heading to Seattle for a 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.

The Blues ended the regular season on a positive note though, as they blew out Utah at home, 6-1.

They failed to back that up in the opening game of this series though, as they were beaten 5-3 in Edmonton on Saturday.

Winnipeg Jets Form

Winnipeg booked their spot in the postseason by putting together a league-best 56-22-4 record to win the Central Division.

The Jets’ great form saw them finish six games clear of Dallas, and they ended the regular season on a solid run too.

They lost two of their first three games in April, but rebounded to win their next three, starting with a 3-1 win over playoff opponents St Louis.

Winnipeg backed up that win on the road, as they won 4-0 in Dallas before heading to Chicago to beat the Blackhawks via a shootout, 5-4.

The Jets failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 4-1 to Edmonton, but they did bounce back in the regular season finale to beat Anaheim 2-1 in overtime.

They then followed that up in the opening game of this playoff series, as they beat St Louis 5-3 over the weekend.

Verdict

Winnipeg set the standard during the regular season and have flat out dominated St Louis in recent years.

Therefore we have to recommend backing the Jets to double their lead in this playoff series.
