LiontipsWinnipeg vs Vancouver. Predictions and Betting Tips for NHL
Command Analysis
Winnipeg already clinched a playoff berth and is currently on the third spot in the standings with 59 points. They need to win one more game to hold on to that position and avoid a meeting with Toronto in the first playoff round.
Jets are currently on a bad form, they won only once out of last nine games - in a game against Calgary (4:0). In the next game after victory Paul Morris' side lost to Ottawa (2:4) at home. It's weird, but Winnipeg plays better on away games than at home this season.
Vancouver is currently on the last place of the standings with 43 points. Team completely failed in the second half of the regular season, though they had chances to advance to the playoffs. Canucks also had a six-game losing streak recently, which was interrupted in a clash against Edmonton (6:3).

Tip and bets
In our opinion, Winnipeg will take the win in this game. In the most recent head-to-heads Jets won confidently by a three goals margin. Plus Canucks had terrible results on away games this season and lost any chance for the playoffs. Winnipeg, on the other hand, is fighting for the third spot and a win in this game will help them.
We will bet on Winnipeg to win.
Only once out of last ten head-to-head games opponents scored seven goals, so the best choice is to bet on total under.
Our prediction - total under six goals
