Parker’s prediction: Jets keep playoff hopes alive with low-scoring win over Blues.<\/p>\n

The Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues are two of the hottest teams in the league because of their defensive play ahead of their meeting at the Enterprise Center on Thursday, April 9.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not expecting much to change with both teams still not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, so my top Jets vs. Blues predictions and NHL picks<\/a> call for a low-scoring game between the Central Division rivals tonight.<\/p>\n

Jets vs Blues prediction
\nJets vs Blues best bet: Under 5.5 (-110)<\/p>\n

It took a while, but the\u00a0Winnipeg Jets<\/a> are finally stringing together wins in a postseason push with an active 11-5-2 record while allowing just 2.67 goals per game and the seventh-fewest expected goals per 60 minutes at 5-on-5.<\/p>\n

On the opposite bench, while the St. Louis Blues<\/a> are all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, they\u2019re also playing an excellent brand of hockey with an 11-3-3 record during the same stretch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, similarly, the Blues have allowed a league-low 1.88 goals per game and the fifth-fewest expected goals per 60 at 5-on-5.<\/p>\n

This game goes Under the number.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As well as St. Louis has played, this is a must-win game for Winnipeg, and I expect the Jets to do just that. The Blues have the highest team save percentage at 5-on-5 during the highlighted 11-3-3 stretch, so look for a splash of statistical correction tonight.<\/p>\n

Turning to the final leg of this same-game parlay, Winnipeg center Mark Scheifele<\/a> has recorded two or more shots in six of his past eight games for 20 total on 39 attempts while logging a monster 22:13 per night.<\/p>\n

Neil Parker is, first and foremost, a sports fan. A huge supporter of the Cowboys, Cubs, and Maple Leafs, he has managed to parlay his passion into writing gigs at some of the top websites in the industry.<\/p>\n

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.<\/p>\n

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it\u2019s to stay the course and use the summer \u2013 or offseason \u2013 to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.<\/p>\n
