LiontipsWinnipeg vs Toronto. Predictions and Betting Tips for NHL (April 23, 2021).
Command Analysis
Winnipeg are now in second place in the standings and have 57 points. The team may soon catch up with Toronto if they continue to show such good results. However, after the two victories over Ottawa (3:2) and Leafs (5:2), the Jets lost 0:3 to Edmonton at home and were absolutely hopeless in attack, having nothing to show.
This is not usually the case, since the attack is the strongest side of the Jets: on average the team scores more than three goals per game. Nikolaj Ehlers has had a very good season so far, and his excellent performance resulted in 44 points for goals plus assists. He was the last to touch the puck 19 times.
Toronto have been the leader of the Northern Division for almost the entire season. They have been switching between good and bad run, and right now they hit bad form, having been defeated in five matches in a row. In the last two games against Vancouver, many considered them favorites, but they still lost with a score of 2:3 (OT) and then 3:6.
Sheldon Keefe's players often play efficiently in attack and are the highest-scoring club in their division, but at the same time, they often forget about defense and allow dangerous counterattacks. Despite this, away Toronto show good results and have won 14 games out of 22.

Tip and bets
Winnipeg, in our opinion, is in better form than Toronto. Moreover, quite recently the teams played against each other, and the Jets have shown that they are stronger than their opponents, winning the game with a score of 5:2, no problems in either defense or attack. Based on this, we suggest betting on the double chance for the hosts.
The first prediction is that Jets will not lose.
Both Toronto and Winnipeg often give their fans entertaining games with many goals, and the matches between them often turn out to be spectacular and high-scoring. That is why we believe the bet on total over is justified.
Our second prediction is total over 5.5 goals.
