St Louis Blues Form
St Louis booked their place in the postseason by compiling a 44-30-8 record to finish fifth in the Central Division standings.
The Blues enjoyed a red-hot run of form between the middle of March and early April as they embarked on a season best 12-game win streak to storm into the postseason picture.
That run cooled off with a three-game losing skid, which began with a 3-1 defeat 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 defeat to the Kraken.
The Blues ended the regular season on a positive note though, as they blew out Utah at home, 6-1.
Winnipeg Jets Form
Winnipeg secured their place in the playoffs by putting together a league-best 56-22-4 record to win the Central Division.
The Jets’ tremendous form saw them finish six games clear of Dallas, and they ended the regular season on a solid run too.
They dropped two of their first three games in April, but rebounded to win their next three, starting with a 3-1 victory over postseason opponents St Louis.
Winnipeg then backed up that victory on the road, as they won 4-0 in Dallas before heading to Chicago to down 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 rebound in the regular season finale to beat Anaheim 2-1 in overtime.
Verdict
Winnipeg were the cream of the crop in the regular season and had St Louis’ number with three wins in four meetings.
We expect the Jets to take an early lead in this series, and with nine of the last 10 meetings being settled in regulation time we expect this to be done in 60 minutes.
