LiontipsWinnipeg vs Vegas. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (March 16, 2022).
Command Analysis
Winnipeg are unimpressive this season. They currently sit in 11th place in the Western Conference table, unable to mount a winning streak. Recently, the Jets beat New Jersey (2:1) before suffering a crushing defeat to the Islanders (2:5), and then got the upper hand over St. Louis in overtime (4:3 OT).
The Jets don't have any problems with the lineup at the moment, but only the first line creates really good scoring chances. Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele are the top scorers for Winnipeg.
Vegas have dropped to the 8th line in the West following their poor results in recent games. The Golden Knights might even drop out of the playoffs zone if they do not recover promptly. The VGK lost in their last three games away to Buffalo (1:3), Pittsburgh (2:5), and Columbus (4:6).
Some of the Golden Knights' leaders are currently unavailable for Peter DeBoer. Lehner, Stone, Pacioretty, Janmark are all out injured, and the Knights struggle to deliver solid results without them.

Vegas have a lot on their plate at the moment, and we haven't seen them showing good results in a while. Winnipeg, on the other hand, won in three of their previous four outings. We will be backing the hosts today.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) to Winnipeg
Previous head-to-head games between these two clubs were high-scoring. Both Vegas and Winnipeg stick to an open attacking brand of hockey, which is why they often concede a lot. We suggest taking the over.
Second bet - total over 5.5 goals
