The Winnipeg Jets have dropped 10 straight to dive into the NHL basement, and they\u2019ll host the surging Edmonton Oilers at the Canada Life Centre tonight.<\/p>\n
My top Oilers vs. Jets predictions and NHL picks<\/a> call for Edmonton to top Winnipeg for a fourth consecutive time tonight.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Oilers vs Jets prediction<\/p>\n Oilers vs Jets best bet: Oilers moneyline (-110)<\/p>\n The Edmonton Oilers<\/a> have topped the Winnipeg Jets<\/a> in each of their past three meetings, and the Jets have lost 10 straight to dip to an active 3-14-5 record.<\/p>\n Winnipeg has generated the seventh-fewest expected goals per 60 minutes at 5-on-5 while scoring the fourth-fewest goals per game during the slump, and No. 1 goalie Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> hasn’t been sharp with an .860 SV% across his past seven starts.<\/p>\n So, landing the Oilers at close to even money here is automatic for me.<\/p>\n Edmonton is in a 10-5-1 groove while averaging 4.0 goals per game, and superstars Connor McDavid<\/a> and Leon Draisaitl<\/a> have been putting on a nightly clinic with a combined 68 points.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Oilers vs Jets same-game parlay<\/p>\n As noted, the Jets struggle to score, and they\u2019ve only scored four times across their past three meetings with the Oilers. Additionally, even with Hellebuyck\u2019s highlighted struggles, I do expect him to begin turning the corner following consecutive Vezina Trophy seasons.<\/p>\n Turning to the final leg of this SGP, Oilers winger Zach Hyman<\/a> has recorded 3+ shots in eight of his past 10 games for 37 total on 60 attempts. He\u2019s logged a monster 20:04 of ice time with 4:08 on the power play during the run.<\/p>\n Oilers vs Jets SGP<\/p>\n Zach Hyman Over 2.5 shots<\/p>\n Oilers vs Jets odds<\/p>\n Moneyline: Oilers -110 | Jets -110<\/p>\n Puck Line: Oilers -1.5 (+210) | Jets +1.5 (-260)<\/p>\n Over\/Under: Over 6 | Under 6<\/p>\n Oilers vs Jets trend<\/p>\n The Oilers have cashed the Under in 33 of their last 60 away games for +5.05 units and an 8% ROI.
